What is a reinforcement schedule that results in consistently high productivity?
A continuous reinforcement schedule, where a reward is given every time a desired behavior occurs, can lead to consistently high productivity. This helps in maintaining motivation and reinforcement of the behavior.
Which reinforcement schedule produces the fastest extinction rate?
A continuous reinforcement schedule typically leads to the fastest extinction rate. This is because the behavior is consistently reinforced, so when the reinforcement is removed, the behavior decreases rapidly.
Why are partial reinforcement more effective than a continuous reinforcement schedule?
Partial reinforcement is more effective than continuous reinforcement because it creates a stronger resistance to extinction. When reinforcement is not given consistently, the behavior becomes more persistent as the individual continues to anticipate the reward. This leads to longer-lasting behavior change compared to continuous reinforcement, where the behavior may extinguish more quickly when the reward is removed.
What is variable ratio schedule?
A variable ratio schedule is applied to operant learning. It is the rate in which a reinforcement (reward) for a particular behavior is obtained. A variable ratio schedule is when the reinforcement is sometimes won, sometimes not won.Example:1. Casinos. The reinforcement would be the money won. Sometimes the money is won, but sometimes it isn't.2. Abusive relationships. Sometimes the partner that is doing the abuse is nice, sometimes he/she isn't nice. The "kindness" is the reinforcement.The behavior is the same, but the rate in which the reinforcement is obtained varies.
What is a fixed ratio schedule?
In instrumental conditioning, a reinforcement schedule in which a specific number of responses are required before a reinforcer is delivered. For example, FR 5 means that reinforcement arrives after every fifth response.

What is partial reinforcement?
Partial reinforcement is when an individual is rewarded on some, but not all, trials. There are multiple variants of partial reinforcement (fixed interval, variable interval, fixed ratio) but the schedule that is most likely to have the slowest extinction rate is variable ratio, meaning that after a certain number of trials between two values, a reward will be given. A real life example of this is gambling.

What is immediate reinforcement?
Immediate reinforcement is when a reward or reinforcement is given immediately after a specific behavior has been exhibited. This type of reinforcement strengthens the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. It provides clear feedback and helps to establish a strong connection between the behavior and the reward.
What are the two schedules of reinforcement that produce the most effective rates of response?
Answer:Continuous and partial. Partial reinforcement schedule can be: fixed-interval, fixed-ratio, variable-interval, or variable-ratio. See the related link below for more details. Answer:Continuous reinforcement is most effective at the start so the subject learns to associate the behavior with the reward. Afterword this is learned a switch to partial reinforcement can be done - more specifically, a variable-ratio schedule produces the strongest response and slowest extinction.
Why is it easier to extinguish behaviors that have been reinforced on fixed rather than variable schedules of reinforcement?
It is easier to extinguish behaviors that have reinforced on a fixed schedule rather than a variable schedule of reinforcement because a fixed schedule requires a reward every time the behavior happens. A variable schedule only rewards every so often.
What do you call an immediate pleasant occurrence that follows a behavior?
positive reinforcement- refers to any immediate pleasant occurrence that follows a behavior.
What kind of stimulus is a positive reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement involves adding a reinforcing stimulus after a behavior to make it more likely that the behavior will be repeated. Positive reinforcement can be used both in good and bad situations.
A reward that follows an action is called?
Reinforcement.
