There is a gradual acceleration of responses just before the provision of reinforcement in a fixed interval schedule. This acceleration is referred to as

  • A.The Fixed - Interval Gradient
  • B.The Fixed - Interval Variant
  • C.The Fixed - Interval Caper
  • D.The Fixed - Interval Scallop

Answer: D

The gradual acceleration of responses just before reinforcement on a fixed interval schedule is called the fixed-interval scallop. Responding is slow just after reinforcement and speeds up as the time for the next one approaches, and the cumulative record then has a scalloped shape.

The terms gradient, variant and caper are not names for this pattern, so the other options are invented.
