Question

23) A rat that is pushing a lever and demonstrating long inter-response times is likely: responding at a high rate. responding at a low rate. c. responding at a high fixed ratio rate. d. responding at a low fixed ratio rate 24) Which of the following schedules is likely to lead to the shortest inter-response times? FI 5 min c. VI 5 min d. VI 10 min 25) When considering the feedback function of a fixed interval schedule, which of the following is true for a given trial of eaming reinforcers? there is an upper limit on the number of reinforcers a subject can earn. there is no limit to the number of reinforcers a subject can earn; more responses more reinforcers. c. depending on how the subject responds,it may have a limit or may not have a limit on its number or d. it is impossible to determine any of the above reinforcers. 26) Concurrent schedules of reinforcement are used to measure: continuous choice behavior over time. choice behavior with commitment. c. partial reinforcement extinction effects d. mechanisms of partial reinforcement extinction effects 27) Based on your answer above, the appropriate apparatus to measure behavior during a concurrent schedule would be: a. Skinner box with one manipulandum. D Skinner box with two manipulanda. c. an eight arm radial maze. d. a T-maze 28) A pigeon responds more on key “A” than on key "B. The relative rate of responding to key "A" could be: a. c. 0.5 d. 0.3 29) According to molecular maximizing theories of matching: organisms always choose whichever response alternative is most likely to be reinforced at that time. organisms distribute their responses so as to maximize the amount of reinforcement they receive over the long run the local rate of response is calculated over just the time the organism devotes to that particular response b. c. d. matching is possible in the absence of momentary maximizing 30) If an experimenter wanted to explore the conditions under which animals prefer sshedules to predictable reinforcement schedules, the experimenter would use molecular maximizing theories c. molar maximizing theories d concurrent schedules of reinforcement

Explanation / Answer

Ans 23 : b) responding at a low rate

Since the rat shows long inter response times , it means it is displaying a low rate response. If the inter response time was shorter , the reponse rate of the rat would have been considered as higher.
