PSYC101 Revision

An IPSP is an Inhibitory post synaptic potential

• true

• false

In a variable ratio reinforcement schedule, the behaviour is reinforced after

• an unpredicted amount of time

• an unpredicted amount of responses

• a set amount of time

• a set amount of responses

In a variable interval reinforcement schedule, the behaviour is reinforced after

• an unpredicted amount of time

• an unpredicted amount of responses

• a set amount of time

• a set amount of responses

Retrograde amnesia is

• inability to form new memories after onset

• inability to remember prior to onset

Which of the following does an EPSP stand for

• Excitatory presynaptic potential

• Expected post synaptic potential

• Excitatory post synaptic potential

• Expected presynaptic pulse

In a fixed ratio reinforcement schedule, the behaviour is reinforced after

• an unpredicted amount of time

• an unpredicted amount of responses

• a set amount of time

• a set amount of responses

Which reinforcement schedule is the most effective when beginning conditioning

• Partial reinforcement schedule
• Fixed interval reinforcement schedule
• Variable ratio reinforcement schedule
• Continuous reinforcement schedule

Which reinforcement schedule is the most likely to cause the behaviour to continue

• Variable ratio schedule
• Fixed ratio schedule
• Variable interval schedule
• Fixed interval schedule

In a fixed interval reinforcement schedule, the behaviour is reinforced after

• an unpredicted amount of time

• an unpredicted amount of responses

• a set amount of time

• a set amount of responses

Give an example of a variable interval reinforcement schedule

• Waiting for the elevator at work

• Receiving a bonus at the end of the year based on performance.
• Winning a lottery ticket every month on the same date.
• Getting a daily snack at a specific time each day.
