Answer:

d.a fixed-ratio schedule.                

Explanation:

Fixed-ratio schedule: In psychology, the term fixed-ratio schedule is being used in operant conditioning and is defined as a reinforcement schedule in which a particular response is being reinforced after a specific number of responses.

Example: A cat will be given food only after a fixed number of a particular response or behavior i.e if the cat will 'meow' three times then the cat will be given food.

In the question above, the statement signifies a fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement.

i have to write an essay about why authors use pen names, pseudonyms, and aliases. basically the main topics are 1.allows author
kozerog [31]

Q: Why do authors use pseudonyms?


A: Authors write under pseudonyms, or pen names, for a variety of reasons. Established authors will do it to cross genres and keep from aggravating their fan bases. Wouldn’t you be a bit ticked off if you bought Stephen King’s next book expecting blood, guts and hair-raising intensity, only to find out it’s a weepy romance novel? King may choose to publish under a different name so he doesn’t disappoint his die-hard horror fans.

Another reason for using a pen name is to switch publishers. When an author is under contract, her publisher may own the rights to any upcoming work under her name. Often authors will take up a new name so they can shop around their work while avoiding legal problems (be sure to read your contract closely, though, because some prohibit this).

But one of the most common reasons authors write under aliases is because their earlier works bombed. If a writer didn’t make money for the publisher the first time, he’s not likely to get a second chance—publishers would prefer to give someone new a shot. Under a pen name, a writer can be reborn.
