3 0

When consequences follow a behavior only after a fixed time has elapsed a fixed-interval reinforcement schedule is being used.

A fixed interval reinforcement schedule is part of operant conditioning, which is a theory that maintains that the consequences that follow from an action determines the likelihood of its repetition. In operant condition, reinforcement schedules are an important part of the training process.

Fixed-interval reinforcement schedules refer to one method of operant conditioning where the reinforcement is made only after a given amount of time has elapsed. In this method, it is observed that responses tend to get very high towards the end of the interval, but slow down immediately after the reinforcer is delivered.

statuscvo [17]

Answer: C & D

Explanation: In the context above, there is no scientific correlation or relationship between ice cream and level of temper. The observed association may be either due to mere coincidence, that is, moment whereby reduction in temper of the subject or participant is witnessed aligns with the the time at which ice-cream is consumed. Coincidental relationships have no scientific relationship and are not fixed, as they usually occur rather naturally in varying circumstances.

The observed correlation might also be due to a confounding or third variable which isn't part of our data but impacting our data, hence, resulting in the observed relationship.

Researchers at a psychology clinic screen all new clients via phone interview, and over a few weeks have a list of 40 new client

Jobisdone [24]

The correct answers are treatment; depression levels.

Answer 1: The independent variable (IV) in this study is the treatment the clients receive; that is, whether or not they received cognitive-behavioral treatment. An IV is an experimental variable in a study that is controlled and manipulated in order to measure its effects on dependent variables or outcomes.

Answer 2: The dependent variable (DV) in this study is the clients' depression levels. DVs refer to outcome variables or results that are obtained as a result of manipulating an IV. In this instance, the manipulation of the IV (whether the participants received cognitive-behavioral treatment or were instead wait-listed) led to the DV- clients' depression levels. Specifically the researchers were investigating whether receiving the treatment had an influence on clients' depression levels.
