If you wanted a rat in a Skinner box to respond with both a high and steady rate of responding, you should use which type of schedule of reinforcement?

3. variable ratio

Options:

1. fixed interval

2. fixed ratio

3. variable ratio

4. variable interval

Explanation: The variable ratio of reinforcement uses rewards to create a high and steady rate of response. The rate of reward for a target behavior is unpredictable so the rat does not know when its response will get a reward. It will keep responding until the reward is delivered.

The options listed above are schedules of reinforcement. They are schedules used in rewarding target behavior in Operant conditioning.

the correct answer is individualism and exchange. at this stage, children begin to question the rules, because they can see that there is more than one side to them. different individuals have different viewpoints. they won't be able to reach this stage because of ignorance, a lack of ethics or personal biases. that is because people with that characteristiscs are not able to distinguish what is good or what is bad and they can't pursue their individual interests.
