Behavioural 3&4

A cumulative record shows the pattern of responding __________ sessions.

Under a fixed-time schedule, reinforcers are delivered _________________ behaviour..

____________ schedule is an example of a complex schedule of reinforcement.

The pattern of responding under a fixed-ratio schedule involves a post-reinforcement pause and a series of reinforcers; a pattern which is called ______________.

A ratio schedule requires a specified number of ____________ since the last reinforcer for the next reinforcer to be obtained.

Schedule thinning often involves moving from a continuous schedule of reinforcement to an ______________ schedule of reinforcement.

Sometimes, humans are less sensitive to schedules than animals because of instructional control. Instructional control describes how _____________ interferes with the schedule.

One of the limitations of the research on schedules is that a large proportion of it has been conducted using _______________________.

Grow et al. (2010) interspersed periods of staff availability with unavailability to put excessive social behaviours of a man with intellectual disabilities under stimulus control. The two schedules (availability and unavailability) were a multiple schedule because they ____________________________________________.

Saunders et al. (2005) showed that showing their participants how pieces of paper they had to shred to earn reinforcers under a fixed ratio schedule made the schedule more effective. This is an example of a ______________________.

A schedule is defined as:

Describe what is happening to behaviour on the following cumulative record.

Which of the following schedules are intermittent?

This graph is an example of responding under which schedule of reinforcement?

A loyalty card at the military surplus store gives you free night vision goggles after you’ve bought 10 items. This is an example of:

You go door-to-door in an abandoned town looking for survivors and find one every few doors but not regularly. This is an example of:

A multiple schedule is when two or more simple schedules:

Every week at the same time, the military drop a package of supplies at the base, irrespective of the operations on the base. This is an example of:

Which of these is not a reason to measure simple schedules in our attempts to rehabilitate the infected?

We keep the radio on and listen for updates from other bases. Occasionally we hear a transmission and receive information. This is:

Reinforcement available for responding outside of schedules in the matching law (Re) is called _______________________.

In a concurrent schedule, two or more schedules are available at the same time, and they are _________________.

Matching law analyses usually use ______ schedules as they produce a high, stable rate of responding.

_____________ response effort on an alternative will result in an increase in responding on that alternative.

In Herrnstein's (1971) matching law equation, B and R represent _________________________________________ respectively.

The allocation of responses to alternatives in a matching analysis is the _____________ response ratio.

Applied situations can often be analysed as ____________________________.

The opportunity to choose is effective for increasing appropriate behaviour, however it is difficult to tell whether this is because of the reinforcing effects of making a choice, or that making a choice provided access to more reinforcing outcomes. This is called the ________________________.

Borrero et al. (2007) showed that social interactions were aimed at people in a conversation based on how much reinforcement they provided for interactions (i.e., matching). This finding could be used in a classroom by providing a _____________________ for children who call out too often and the opposite for children who do not participate enough.

The opportunity to choose tasks, rather than being assigned tasks, might alter the value of escape (i.e., could be a / an __________________________ for escape as a reinforcer).

How do behaviour analysts measure choice?

Using the matching law, describe how an Infected’s behaviour would be distributed over the following two buttons: red button with a VI30s or blue button with a VI20s.

Which of the following is an example of responding under the matching law?

Which of the following ALL affect matching?

Choice...

Scouts on the Combat Team can search to the east or west of Pontio Base Five. Which would NOT increase the likelihood they will search to the east?

The Healers want to ensure that more civilians read the infection prevention pamphlets they have made. What would make it less likely that people will read them?

In the matching law, what does Re represent?

Choice responding to an alternative can be measured by:

What is the ‘take home message’ of the matching law in regards to explaining choice?
