Complete Solutions
Which of the following schedules pre-specifies a number of responses that need to
occur for reinforcement to be provided?
Interval
Ratio
Response-independent
DRO - ANSWER Ratio
An interval schedule of reinforcement specifies an interval of time
That has to elapse in the absence of a specific response, followed by the delivery of a
reinforcer
That needs to elapse before the next target response is reinforced
Which must elapse, immediately followed by the delivery of a reinforcing stimulus
During which a specific number of target responses must occur for a reinforcer to be
delivered - ANSWER During which a specific number of target responses must occur for
a reinforcer to be delivered
Differential reinforcement in which a response is reinforced only if it occurs within a
pre-specified period of time since a previous response.

Jimi does not do well when asked to fold flyers and place them into envelopes at his
workshop. He takes nearly 15 minutes to complete even one envelope. A token program
is put in place at the workshop, and within two days, Jimi is completing dozens of
envelopes by the end of every 2-hour work session. This sudden improvement in Jimi's
productivity indicates that Jimi's prior low rate of production was most likely due to:
Bi-polar disorder or ADHD
, A skill deficit
A performance deficit
Lack of intrinsic motivation - ANSWER A performance deficit
Shaping consists of gradually changing a(n)___________ by differentially reinforcing
successive approximations to a target behavior
Property of responding
Stimulus prompt
Property of stimuli
Response prompt - ANSWER Property of responding
The extinction component of shaping tends to X response Y .
X = Decrease
Y = Value
X = Increase
Y = Strength over time
X = Decrease
Y = Variability
X = Increase
Y = Variability - ANSWER X = Increase
Y = Variability
To increase response diversity, a lag-3 schedule of reinforcement is utilized. This means
that the current response is reinforced only if it...
Is different from the last 3 preceding responses (along the specified dimension)
Is the third of 3 different responses
Is the same as the last 3 preceding responses (along the specified dimension)
Occurs 3 times in a row since the last delivery of reinforcement - ANSWER Is different
from the last 3 preceding responses (along the specified dimension)
Which of the following techniques may be used to promote the rapid acquisition of
independent responding? Prompted responses are...
Always reinforced while unprompted responses are intermittently reinforced
