Question

12. Suppose a reward for a CS follows a probabilistic schedule. If the probability of receiving the reward increases then: a) firing will increase for CS and increase for US b) firing will increase for CS and decrease for US c) firing will decrease for CS and decrease for US d) firing will decrease for CS and increase for US e) none of the above; firing will remain unchanged for CS and US

Answer 1

d) firing will decrease for CS and increase for US

Explanation:

The is the answer going by the probabilistic nature of the schedule. That is, as the probability of relieving reward increase has a direct effect on the CS leading to its decrease as well as a proportional increase for US. On the other hand, a decrease of probability of receiving reward will have an opposite effects on the schedule.
