Question

section 9-2 use the following terms to complete the statements below: continuous interval, approximation, primary reinforcers, ratio, reinforcement, secondary reinforcers, shaping, partial 9 is a stimulus or event that increases the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated. 10 satisfy such needs as hunger, thirst, and warmth. 11 are effective only when they have acquired value through classical conditioning 12 is a schedule that reinforces behavior each time it occurs. 13 schedules of reinforcement create long - lasting behaviors. 14 schedules base reinforcement schedules on the number of responses 15 schedules base reinforcement on the time between reinforcements. 16 can train a respondent to engage in a complex behavior that is unlikely to happen by itself. 17 to the desired behavior, reinforcement occurs.

Explanation:

1. Reinforcement is defined as a stimulus or event that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
2. Primary reinforcers satisfy basic biological needs like hunger, thirst, and warmth.
3. Secondary reinforcers gain their value through classical conditioning.
4. A continuous - reinforcement schedule reinforces behavior each time it occurs.
5. Partial - reinforcement schedules create long - lasting behaviors.
6. Ratio schedules base reinforcement on the number of responses.
7. Interval schedules base reinforcement on the time between reinforcements.
8. Shaping can train a respondent to engage in a complex behavior that is unlikely to happen by itself.
9. Approximation: Reinforcement occurs for behaviors that are closer to the desired behavior.
