Designing a Reinforcement Exam

1. True or False:  Partial Reinforcement is schedule that is best used during the initial stages of learning so the patient can distinguish an intense connection between their behaviors and responses.

True

False

2. ______________ are those where a response is reinforced only after a specified number of responses. 

A. Fixed-Ratio Schedules

B. Variable-interval Schedules

C. Fixed-interval Schedules

D. Continuous Reinforcement

3.  An example in a lab setting would be reinforcing a bird with bird seed for the pressing a button after a 45 second time has passed would be which of the following?

A. Variable-ratio schedules

B. Variable-interval schedules

C. Fixed-interval schedules

D. Fixed-ratio schedules

4. Which ratio is the correct response after it has been reinforced?

True

• Continuous
• Fix -ratio schedule
• Intermittent reinforcement
• Fix ratio responding
  • When you are only getting in trouble every other day what reinforcement does this reinforce?
  • Intermittent reinforcement
  • Variable-ratio schedule
  • Variable-interval schedule
  • Fix-ratio schedule
  • True or False: Continuous reinforcement can be a continuous cycle for a behavior that has been reinforced to where the initial stage of learning can become a strong response from the behavior. The response can be switched to partial reinforcement schedule.

  False

  When a response prevents a reinforce from being received, it is known as:

  Removal

  Differential reinforcement of other behavior

  Prevention

  Negative punishment

  Principle of punishment by prevention of a reinforce is described by:

  A response occurs less frequently if it has prevented a reinforcer in the past.

  Punishment by prevention contingency

   Punishment by the prevention of the removal of an aversive stimulus

  The post-reinforcement pause is another characteristic of fixed-ratio-maintained behavior.

  Laughing at every single joke a person tells is a good example of:

  Intermittent reinforcement

  Continuous reinforcement

  Fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement.

  Variable-ratio of reinforcement

  10. Your Mother gives you a cookie every time after you do the dishes. This is an example of ______schedule of reinforcement.

  11. Trainees get break after every 50 minutes of continuous hiking. This is an example of _____ schedule of reinforcement.

  • Fixed Ratio
  • Variable Ratio
  • Fixed Interval
  • Continuous

  12. To increase business a company randomly rewards one customer a day with a 20% discount. This is an example of _______ schedule of reinforcement.

  • Variable Ratio
