Chp 6 Psychology pt 2

Every target behavior is reinforced

• Continuous Reinforcement

• Partial Reinforcement

• Successive Approximations

• Shaping

A reinforcer is given for the first target behavior occurring after a specific time interval

• Fixed-Interval Schedule

• Variable-Interval Schedule

• Variable-Ratio Schedule

• Fixed-Ratio Schedule

Produces a high response rate and behaviors that are difficult to extinguish

• Variable-Ratio Schedule

• Variable-Interval Schedule

• Fixed-Ratio Schedule

• Fixed-Interval Schedule

Number fluctuates around a precalculated average

• Variable-Ratio Schedule

• Fixed-Ratio Schedule

• Variable-Interval Schedule

• Fixed-Interval Schedule

Subject must exhibit a specific number of desired responses or behaviors before a reinforcer is given, but the number changes across trials

• Variable -Ratio Schedule

• Fixed-Interval Schedule

• Variable- Interval Schedule

• Fixed- Ratio Schedule

Produces a high response rate, but with a characteristic dip immediately following the reinforcement

• Fixed-Ratio Schedule

• Variable-Ratio Schedule

• Fixed-Interval Schedule

• Variable-Interval Schedule

Subject must exhibit a present number of desired responses or behaviors before a reinforcer is given

• Fixed-Interval Schedule

• Variable-Ratio Schedule

• Fixed-Interval Schedule

• Variable-Interval Schedule

Partial Reinforcement Schedules

• Fixed Ratio

• Variable-Interval

• Fixed-Interval

• Variable-Ratio

• Ratio-Interval

The tendency for behaviors acquired through intermittent reinforcement to be more resistant to extinction that those acquired through continuous reinforcement

• Partial Reinforcement Effect

• Operant Conditioning

• Continuous Reinforcement

• Classical Conditioning

Ex: Uber Drivers

• Partial Reinforcement

• Continuous Reinforcement

• Successive Approximations

• Shaping
