Psyc 201: Final Exam and All Correct
Answers 2026 Updated.
Ratio Schedule - Answer Number of reinforcers you get is function of number of times
behavior occurs.
Fixed Ratio - Answer A type of reinforcement schedule where a response is reinforced only
after a specified number of responses.
Variable Ratio - Answer A type of reinforcement schedule where a response is reinforced
after an unpredictable number of responses.
Interval Schedule - Answer Frequency of reinforcers is determined by time that's passed.
Fixed Interval - Answer A type of reinforcement schedule where the first response is
rewarded only after a specified amount of time has elapsed.
Variable Interval - Answer A type of reinforcement schedule where a response is rewarded
after an unpredictable amount of time has passed.
Positive Reinforcement - Answer Response followed by rewarding a stimulus.
Negative Reinforcement - Answer Response followed by removal of an aversive stimulus.
Positive Punishment - Answer Response followed by an aversive stimulus.
Negative Punishment - Answer Response followed by removal of a rewarding stimulus.
Premack Principle - Answer Creatures have preference for frequency of behaviors, leading
them to 'work' to get as close to preferred frequencies as possible.
Escape Learning - Answer Responding to terminate an ongoing unpleasant stimulus.
Avoidance Learning - Answer Responding to a signal to prevent an anticipated unpleasant
stimulus from occurring.
, Matching Law - Answer Relative rate of reinforcement is matched to the relative rate of
behavior.
Delay Discounting - Answer The decrease in perceived value of a reward as the delay to its
receipt increases.
Long Term Potentiation (LTP) - Answer Enhanced neural processing resulting from the flow of
information from one neuron to another.
Anterograde Amnesia - Answer No memory forward; inability to form new memories.
Retrograde Amnesia - Answer No memories backward; inability to recall past memories.
Iconic Memory - Answer A brief, almost photographic storage of visual information, lasting
for fractions of a second.
State-Dependent Learning - Answer Matching context at time of learning to time of testing
can help improve recall.
Explicit Memory - Answer Conscious, intentional memory.
Implicit Memory - Answer Unconscious recall.
Procedural Memory - Answer Memory for skills and actions, like riding a bike.
Semantic Memory - Answer Facts and general knowledge.
Episodic Memory - Answer Personal experienced events; mental time travel.
Prospective Memory - Answer The ability to remember to perform a planned action or
intention in the future.
Retroactive Interference - Answer The tendency of later learning to hinder the memory of
previously learned material.
Proactive Interference - Answer The tendency of previously learned material to hinder
subsequent learning.
