MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 A study is performed on various reinforcement schedules and it discovers that a fixed interval schedule conditions a response faster than all other schedules. From this data, it can be extrapolated that:
    		 

    A

    		 rewards given after fixed numbers of responses do not result in any conditioning.

    B

    		 rewards given after a specific amount of time has elapsed is more rapid at conditioning a response than rewards given at random times.

    C

    		 if the animal is unable to predict the number of responses required for a reward, the conditioning is expedited.

    D

    		 extinction will take place at a similar pace for all reinforcement schedules.
