Question

Identify the three variations of basic INT schedules of Reinforcement Plus (R+):

A) DRH, DRO, DRI
B) DRD, DRL, DRC
C) DRO, DRI, DRL
D) DRH, DRD, DRL

Answer 1

The correct answer is:
A) DRH, DRO, DRI

The three variations of basic INT schedules of Reinforcement Plus (R+) are:

1) DRH (Differential Reinforcement of High Rates): In this schedule, reinforcement is provided for responding at a high rate or above a specified criterion.

2) DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior): In this schedule, reinforcement is provided for not engaging in a specific behavior during a specified time interval or for engaging in any behavior other than the target behavior.

3) DRI (Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior): In this schedule, reinforcement is provided for engaging in a behavior that is incompatible with the target behavior, making it difficult or impossible to engage in both behaviors simultaneously.

Answer 2

The three variations of basic INT schedules of Reinforcement Plus (R+) are DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior), DRI (Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior), and DRL (Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Behavior).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question "Identify the three variations of basic INT schedules of Reinforcement Plus (R+)" is Option C) DRO, DRI, DRL. These variations of intermittent reinforcement schedules are used to modify behavior in operant conditioning. DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior) involves providing reinforcement only if a particular behavior has not occurred in a specified amount of time. DRI (Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior) provides reinforcement for a behavior that is incompatible with the unwanted behavior. Lastly, DRL (Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Behavior) is used to provide reinforcement only if the behavior occurs at or below a predetermined rate.
