VERIFIED SOLUTIONS 100% GUARANTEED
PASS (2025/2026)
Avoidance procedure - ANS ✓the occurrence of the behavior prevents the
presentation of an aversive stimulus
Delay of reinforcer and "marking" - ANS ✓faster learning with marking, 30
second delay without marking
Learned helplessness - ANS ✓a condition that occurs after a period of negative
consequences where the subject begins to believe they have no control
Example of learned helplessness - ANS ✓dogs previously trained with
inescapable shocks learn how to avoid shocks when it became possible, these
dogs learned that their behavior was ineffective, they learned that there was no
relationship between their behavior and shocks
Cumulative record - ANS ✓records response and reward through time
Response rate - ANS ✓the slope of the cumulative record (responses per
seconds), a sensitive measure of conditioning
Schedules of reinforcement - ANS ✓specific patterns that determine when a
behavior will be reinforced

BLP
Continuous reinforcement schedule (CRF) - ANS ✓reinforcing the desired
response every time it occurs
Partial reinforcement schedule - ANS ✓reinforcing a response only part of the
time, results in slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to
extinction than does continuous reinforcement
Fixed ratio (FR) schedules - ANS ✓reinforce behavior after a set number of
responses, the best for learning new behaviours
Ratio strain - ANS ✓a disruption in responding that occurs when a ratio
schedule is increased rapidly
Break point - ANS ✓the point where the subject no longer responds because the
reinforcement is not worth it
Variable ratio (VR) schedules - ANS ✓reinforcement given after a set number
of correct responses, number of responses changes every time, very high
response rate
Which schedule of reinforcement is the best for maintaining behavior? -
ANS ✓variable ratio (VR) schedules
Fixed interval (FI) schedule - ANS ✓the first correct number of responses after
a set amount of time has passed is reinforced, time period is fixed
Fixed interval (FI) scallop - ANS ✓gradually accelerating rate of response
toward the end of the interval
