Answer:

Variable Ratio  Schedule

Explanation:

First, there are two different types of reinforcement:

  • Positive
  • Negative

The positive reinforcement applies a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

The negative reinforcement removes a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

However, the positive reinforcement divides itself in different types:

  • Continuous
  • Partial

A continuous reinforcement schedule gives us a reinforcement every time we engaged in the desired conduct.

On the other side, the partial reinforcement schedule  also divides itself in

  • Ratio
  • Interval

And these divide themselves in fixed or variable.

  • The fixed ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>fixed number</u> of desired responses.
  • The variable ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>changing</u> <u>number</u> of desired responses.

  • The fixed interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>constant amount of time.</u>
  • The variable interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>variable amount of time.</u>

In the example, the rats get a pellet of food, so we're talking about a reinforcement. They <u>don't get a reward EVERY TIME</u> they press the bar so we are not talking about a continuous reinforcement but a partial reinforcement. Since the rats press the bar and get a reward after certain <u>NUMBER</u> of times, we're talking about a ratio schedule. Finally, the number of times they need to press the bar to get a reward <u>VARIES</u> from trial to trial so this is a Variable Ratio Schedule.

Identify which balance was used to make each mass reading.
eimsori [14]

The balance that can be used to measure a mass reading of 6.521 g will be a balance with ±0.001 g tolerance.

<h3>What is the tolerance of a balance?</h3>

The tolerance of a balance is the number of decimal place values displayed on the balance and it is the acceptable measurement limitations (in grams) that a balance can tolerate.

  • As such, depending on the decimal place value behind a mass reading will determine the balance used for measurement.

Since no mass reading was given, let's make two assumptions about mass reading.

Mass reading    Assumptions

1                           6.521 g

2                           4.23 g

  • The balance used for the 6.521 g mass reading is a balance with ±0.001 g tolerance.
  • The balance used for the 4.23 g mass reading is a balance with ±0.01 g tolerance.
