Question

With continuous reinforcement schedules, a consequence:

a. follows every instance of a behavior.
b. is delivered following a specific number of behaviors.
c. follows a behavior only after a fixed time has elapsed.
d. is delivered following a different number of behaviors.

Answer 1

c. follows a behavior only after a fixed time has elapsed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In human behaviour, people tends to behave differently according to the situation that was there at that particular point in time. A positive situation leading to actions by someone would be rewarded while a consequences would be gotten when someone goes contarary to the expected behaviour.

In the situation whereby a continious reinforcement schedules was initiated, a consequence would emerge after a fixed time frame has elasped for a partricular behavour by someone.

Answer 2

Answer: a---- follows every instance of a behavior

Explanaton : Continuous reinforcement is a type of reinforcement schedules which provides reinforcement for every instance of a behavior in consideration. ie, for every target behavior, there would be an immediate consequence.

For example, A child receives one candy bite (consequence) for each spoon of nonpreferred vegetable food he accepts(behaviour).
