Help

Answer 1

This is what my textbook says

Answer 2

yeah those are right

Answer 3

your solutions are good

Answer 4

uh i'm not 100% sure on the greg one but since his parents are trying to discourage a behavior (getting bad grades) I'd put that as negative punishment rather than negative reinforcement

Answer 5

otherwise i think it's good

Answer 6

for this one I know the aspirin one is right

Answer 7

not sure about the other one

Answer 8

I think negative reinforcement is probably the best since removing the negative stimulus encourages the behavior of pressing the button

Answer 9

the behavior is decreases by a stimulus so pos punishment

Answer 10

oh okay thanks

Answer 11

hm

I think the second one might be fixed interval as well, since the behavior is being rewarded at a fixed set of time

fixed interval would be more like "he gets an allowance every 5 chores" or something

Answer 12

This is just in case :')

Answer 13

yeah I remember what the definitions are, those are just my thoughts on the matter

Answer 14

my best attempt for the dancing one: since the women may or may not say yes, and whether they say yes is not really based on a fixed ratio or time, I would probably say variable ratio. his behavior will be rewarded after (some) number of attempts

Answer 15

for question 4, if the dog is being rewarded every single time that's continuous

Answer 16

not sure if 5 is what i have now or continuous

Answer 17

hm

my best guess for 5) whether he gets messages or not depends on the interval of time, not how often he checks it, so I'm inclined to say variable interval not variable ratio

for 6) for every three assignments his behavior is rewarded. it's based on his actions, not his time, so fixed ratio not fixed interval
