Question

all the reinforcement schedules that are in effect for a persons behavior at one time are referred to as ______ schedules of reinforcement. a concurrent b overlapping c simultaneous d mixed

Explanation:

In the context of behavioral psychology (a subfield of Social Science), concurrent schedules of reinforcement refer to multiple reinforcement schedules that are in effect simultaneously for a person's behavior. "Overlapping" is not a standard term for this concept, "simultaneous" is too general, and "mixed" schedules have different characteristics (involving different types of reinforcement like ratio and interval without clear discrimination cues). So the correct term is concurrent.

Answer:

A. concurrent
