What is an example of a tandem schedule of reinforcement?
For example, in a tandem, fixed-interval 1-minute, fixed-ratio 10 schedule, the first response after 1 minute would initiate the fixed-ratio schedule, and the 10th response would result in reinforcement. Also called tandem schedule of reinforcement.
How are tandem and chained schedules similar?
The tandem schedule is identical to the chained except that there are no distinctive exteroceptive stimuli associated with each component.
What is a conjunctive schedule?
CONJUNCTIVE SCHEDULE A schedule in which two contingencies must be met to achieve reinforcement. (E.g., a response is reinforced after 10 minutes and after 100 responses have been emitted, both of these since the preceding reinforcement.)
What is conjunctive schedule of reinforcement?
Conjunctive schedules are the requirements of two or more simple schedules must be met before a reinforcer can be delivered. ( lecture notes from Theories)
What is a tandem schedule?
A compound reinforcement schedule in which reinforcement (1) is delivered after an organism has completed two or more simple reinforcement schedules in succession, no signal being given to indicate to the organism which schedule is operating at any particular time. Also called a tandem schedule.
What is the Premack principle example?
Parents use the Premack principle when they ask children to eat their dinner (low probability behavior) before eating dessert (high probability behavior). Over time, the child learns to eat dinner in order to gain access to the preferred behavior of eating dessert.
What are two examples of schedule induced or adjunctive behavior?
An example is schedule-induced polydipsia, in which excessive drinking of water occurs when small portions of food are delivered intermittently.
What is an example of variable ratio schedule?
In operant conditioning, a variable-ratio schedule is a schedule of reinforcement where a response is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses. Gambling and lottery games are good examples of a reward based on a variable ratio schedule.
What is a response rate schedule?
Response Rate Schedules. A rule about the delivery of reinforcers. Not all instances of responses produce a reinforcer. Different Schedules of reinforcement. Schedule of Reinforcement Effects.
What is a fixed duration schedule?
Fixed duration schedules require the behavior be performed for a set period of time whereas variable duration schedule works around some average. Each performance of behavior is reinforced after a different duration. Fixed time schedules are similar to fixed interval schedules except no behavior is required.
