SPE 526: M3 COMPREHENSION CHECKS
Basic Schedules
Which schedule of reinforcement parallels to the example where the salary is deposited
every two weeks?
(HINT: Is salary deposited related to your response? In other words, is your salary
deposited based on your performance or based on time?)
- VI
- FR
- FI
- FT - Answers :- FT
Basic Schedules
In order to achieve fluent responding without pausing, which of the following schedule
should be considered?
- VI
- VR
- FI
- FR - Answers :- VR
A compound schedule may include:
- compound elements such as a chained schedule.
- basic reinforcement schedules such as FR, VR, VR, and VI.
- any elements from any type of reinforcement schedule.
- extinction. - Answers :- any elements from any type of reinforcement schedule.
Schedules of Differential Reinforcement
When using a differential reinforcement procedure, such as DRA, DRH, DRL, or DRD,
one response (Response A) or its dimension will ________________; another response
(Response B) or another response dimension of Response A will _____________.
(HINT: definition of differential reinforcement)
- be followed by a reduced rate of reinforcement; be followed by an increased rate of
reinforcement.
- not be followed by a reinforcer; not be followed by a reinforcer.
- not be followed by a reinforcer; be followed by a reinforcer.
, - be followed by an increased rate of reinforcement; be followed by a reduced rate of
reinforcement. - Answers :- not be followed by a reinforcer; be followed by a reinforcer.
Compound Schedules
A child with a diagnosis of autism likes to request for chips. He requests for chips in
both home and school. One day, his mom decided to reduce chips and started to
implement FI 1-hour schedule. That is, a chip is delivered for the first request after 1
hour has elapsed. While the requests for chip gradually decreased at home, his
requests at school immediately increased but nothing had changed in school. This is an
example of:
(HINT: You need to identify if this is a multiple or a concurrent schedule. Remember the
multiple schedule is only associated with behavioral contrast while matching law is
associated with the concurrent schedule.
In a multiple schedule, contingencies or schedules of reinforcement alternate randomly
in a sequence, while in a concurrent schedule, two or more contingencies are presented
simultaneously.)
- All options are correct.
- Behavior contrast.
- Behavior law.
- Matc - Answers :- Behavior contrast.
Basic Schedules
Read the scenario and select the schedule that the scenario represents.
Set the timer to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes has elapsed, only if the response is emitted
within 10 seconds of the end of the interval, reinforcer would be delivered.
- VI 5 mins - FI 10 s
- FI 5 mins - VI 10 s
- VI 5 mins - LH 10 s
- FI 5 mins - LH 10 s - Answers :- FI 5 mins - LH 10 s
Schedules of Differential Reinforcement
Which of the following can result in decreased frequency of a response?
(HINT: can any of the following differential reinforcement schedules decrease a
response?)
- DRD
- DRO
- DRL
