Operant Conditioning GameOnline version Test your knowledge of operant conditioning with this fun and educational game! by Jarrod Smith 1 Positive reinforcement increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Yes No 2 Extinction occurs when a previously reinforced behavior no longer produces a reward. Yes No 3 A fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement provides reinforcement after a fixed number of responses. Yes No 4 Continuous reinforcement involves providing reinforcement after every instance of a behavior. Yes No 5 Positive reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior. Yes No 6 Punishment is always an effective way to eliminate unwanted behaviors. Yes No 7 Variable interval schedules of reinforcement provide reinforcement after varying amounts of time. Yes No 8 Operant conditioning is the same as classical conditioning. Yes No 9 Fixed interval schedules of reinforcement provide reinforcement after a fixed amount of time. Yes No 10 Variable ratio schedules of reinforcement provide reinforcement after a fixed number of responses. Yes No 11 Negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior. Yes No 12 Negative punishment involves adding a pleasant stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior. Yes No 13 Extinction is a form of punishment used in operant conditioning. Yes No 14 Operant conditioning is a type of learning that focuses on the consequences of behavior. Yes No 15 Positive punishment involves adding an aversive stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior. Yes No 16 Negative punishment decreases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Yes No 17 Operant conditioning does not take into account the role of cognition in learning. Yes No 18 Reinforcement always leads to the immediate and permanent cessation of a behavior. Yes No 19 Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior. Yes No 20 Operant conditioning only applies to animals, not humans. Yes No
