BCBA MOCK EXAM 2025/2026 WITH 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
1. What defines a mixed schedule of reinforcement?
A single schedule of reinforcement with a fixed ratio.
A schedule where reinforcement is delivered only after a set time.
Two or more basic schedules of reinforcement that occur in
alternating schedule.
A schedule that combines both reinforcement and punishment.
2. If a researcher implements a mixed schedule of reinforcement for training a
new behavior, what might be a potential outcome in terms of behavior
consistency?
No change in behavior consistency as the schedule is irrelevant.
Increased variability in the behavior due to the alternating
reinforcement schedules.
Increased consistency in behavior as the subject learns the schedule.
Decreased variability in the behavior as the schedule becomes
predictable.
3. Describe how an evocative effect influences behavior in the context of
motivating operations.
An evocative effect causes a decrease in behavior frequency by
removing the reinforcer.
An evocative effect leads to an increase in behavior frequency
, due to the enhanced effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer,
influenced by a motivating operation.
