| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adjunctive Behaviors | Behavior that occurs as a collateral effect of a schedule of periodic reinforcement for other behavior; time-filling or interim activities (e.g. |
| Alternative Schedule (alt) | Provides reinforcement whenever the requirement of either a ratio schedule or an interval schedule - the basic schedules that makeup the alternative schedule - is met |
| Chained Schedule of Reinforcement (chain) | A schedule of reinforcement in which the response requirement of two or more basic schedules must be met in a specific sequence before reinforcement is delivered; a discriminative stimulus is correlated with each component of the schedule. |
| Compound Schedule of Reinforcement | A schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more elements of continuous reinforcement (CRF) |
| Concurrent Schedule (cone) | A schedule of reinforcement in which two or more contingencies of reinforcement (elements) operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors. |
| Conjunctive Schedule (conj) | Is in effect whenever reinforcement follows the completion of response requirements for both a ration schedule and an interval schedule of reinforcement. |
| Continuous Reinforcement (CRF) | A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for each occurrence of the target behavior. |
| Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates (DRD) | A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided at the end of a predetermined interval contingent on the number of responses emitted during the interval being fewer than a gradually decreasing criterion based on the individual's performance in previous intervals (e.g. |
| Differential Reinforcement of High Rates (DRH) | A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided at the end of a predetermined interval contingent on the number of responses emitted during the interval being greater than a gradual increasing criterion based on the individual's performance in previous intervals (e.g. |
| Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates (DRL) | A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement (a) follows each occurrence of the target behavior that is separated from the previous response by a minimum interresponse time (IRT) |
| Fixed Interval (FI) | A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered for the first response emitted following the passage of a fixed duration of time since the last response was reinforced (e.g. |
| Fixed Ration (FR) | A schedule of reinforcement requiring a fixed number of responses for reinforcement (e.g. |
| Intermittent Schedule of Reinforcement (INT) | A contingency of reinforcement in which some |
| Limited Hold | A situation in which reinforcement is available only during a finite time following the elapse of an FI or FI interval; if the target response does not occur within the time limit |
| Matching Law | The allocation of responses to choices available on concurrent schedules of reinforcement; rates of responding across choices are distributed in proportions that match the rates of reinforcement received from each choice alternatives. |
| Mixed Schedule (Mix) | A compound schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more basic schedules of reinforcement (elements) that occur in an alternating |
| Multiple Schedule (Mult) | A compound schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more basic schedules of reinforcement (elements) that occur in an alternating |
| Postreinforcement Pause | The absence of responding for a period of time following reinforcement; an effect commonly produced by fixed interval (FI) and fixed ratio (FR) schedule of reinforcement. |
| Progressive Schedule of Reinforcement | A schedule that systematically thins each successive reinforcement opportunities independent of the individual's behavior; progressive ratio (PR) and progressive interval (PI) schedules are thinned using arithmetic or geometric progressions. |
| Ratio Strain | A behavioral effect associated with abrupt increases in ration requirements when moving from denser to thinner reinforcement schedules; common effects include avoidance |
| Schedule of Reinforcement | A rule specifying the environmental arrangements and response requirements for reinforcement; a description of a contingency of reinforcement. |
| Schedule Thinning | Changing a contingency of reinforcement by gradually increasing the response ration or the extent of the time interval; it results in a lower rate of reinforcement per responses |
| Tandem Schedule (tand) | A schedule of reinforcement identical to the chained schedule except |
| Variable Interval (VI) | A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for the first correct response following the elapse of variable durations of time occurring in a random or unpredictable order. The mean duration of the intervals is used to describe the schedule (e.g. |
| Variable Ration (VR) | A schedule of reinforcement requiring a varying number of responses for reinforcement. The number of responses required varies around a random number; the mean number of responses required for reinforcement is used to describe the schedule (e.g. |
