16. I he procedure in which responses are reinforced
onh part of the time is called
reinforcement, Under these conditions, learning
is generally
(faster slower)
than it is with continuous reinforcement.
Behaxior reinforced in this manner is
(very not very) resistant to
extinction,
17. When behax ior is reinforced after a set number of responses, a schedule is in effect,
18. Three-year-old Yusef knon s that it he cries when he wants a treat, his mother will sometimes gix e in. When, as in this case, reinforcement occurs after an unpredictable number of responses, a
schedule is being used,
19. Reinforcement of the first response after a set interval of time defines the sched ule, An example of this schedule is
20. When the first response after varying amounts of
time is reinforced, a

Describe the typical patterns of response under fixed interx al, fixed-ratio, variable-interval, and variableratio schedules of reinforcement.

Objective 15: Discuss the ways negatix e punishment, positive punishment, and negatn e reinforcement dif fer, and list some drawbacks of punishment as a behax ior-control technique.

23. Punishment can also lead to and a sense of helplessness, as xx eli as to the asso ciation of the ax ersive cx ent with
24. Punishment also often increases and does not guide the mdix idual toward more desirable behax ior,
Objective 16: Explain hoxx latent learning and the effect of external rexx ards demonstrate that cognitive processing is an important part of learning.
25. Skinner and other behax iorists resisted the grow
ing belief that expectatlon%, perceptions, and
other
procesce have a
valid place in the ccience of psychology.

Chapter 8 Learning
Objective 17: Explain how biological predispositions place limits on what can be achieved through operant conditioning.
29. Operant conditioning (is is not) constrained by an animal's biological predispositions.
30. For instance, u ith animals it is difficult to use
food as a

Objective 18: Describe the controversy over Skinner's views of human behavior,
32. Skinner's x iews were controversial because he
insisted that
influences,
rather than

shape behavior,
33. Skinner also advocated the use of principles to influence peo-
pie in ways that promote more desirable
34. Skinner's critics argued that he

personal
and by seeking to
their actions,
Objectix'e 19: Describe some ways to apply operant conditioning principles at school in sports, at xx ork and at home,
35, 1 he use of teaching machines and programmed
textbooks was an early application of the operant
onditioning procedure of
to education, On-line
sy 5-
tems software that is
and
-based learninci
are neix er examples of this application of operant
principles. Reinforcement principles can also bc
used to enhance
abilities by
shaping successive approximations of nen skills,
36. In boosting productivity in the workplace, posi
hi e reintorcement is
(more/less) effective when applied to specific
behax iors than when given to reward general
merit and when the desired performance is well
defined and
, For such
behax iors, immediate reinforcement is
(more no more) effectix e
than delayed reinforcement.

people's spending behavior is controlled by its
