Reinforcement is defined as:
A. Decreasing the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated
B. Ignoring a behavior to eliminate it
C. Increasing the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated
D. Returning behavior to its original level
C. Increasing the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated
Punishment is intended to:

C. Create observational learning
D. Decrease the likelihood of repetition
D. Decrease the likelihood of repetition
Reinforcement is most effective when it:

B. Is delayed by several hours
C. Occurs randomly
D. Is paired with punishment
A. Immediately follows a behavior
A behavior that returns to its original level when a response is no longer reinforced is described as:

D. Observed
C. Extinguished
Continuous reinforcement occurs when:
A. Reinforcement is given after a variable number of responses

C. Every occurrence of the desired behavior is reinforced
Fixed interval reinforcement is delivered:
A. After an unpredictable number of responses
B. For the first response after a specific and predictable amount of time has elapsed
C. After every behavior
