Sometimes the pigeon has to peck 3 or 4 times, sometimes 5, and sometime more. On average, the bird was reinforced every 5th peck. This pigeon was on a schedule of reinforcement a. fixed interval b. fixed ratio c. variable interval variable ratio 20) You noice that the pigcon in the laboratory you just entered has a particular way of pecking at the key in its The pigeon seems to increase its rate of pecking towards the end of a two-minute period, food is made cage. available, and then pecking slows until the end of the next two minutes. You surmise that the pigeon is on a: fixed ratio schedule. variable ratio schedule. fixed interval schedule variable interval schedule. a. b. 21) A cumulative recorder marks a scalloped pattern of responding when subjects are on a: a. fixed ratio schedule. fixed interval schedule. c. variable ratio schedule. d. variable interval schedule. 22) Your friend is taking a class with exams scheduled every three weeks.
