BACB Certificant Number:

A learner earns 15 seconds of access immediately after each response. What kind of arrangement is this?

Accumulated reinforcers

Discrete-trial reinforcers

Distributed reinforcers

Intermittent reinforcers

None

Why might reinforcer efficacy may be enhanced during accumulated-reinforcement arrangements?

Exposure to establishing operations is broken up into shorter durations

Immediate access to the reinforcer after each response reduces impulsivity

Longer, uninterrupted access to the reinforcer may enhance reinforcer value

None of these: reinforcer efficacy is not enhanced during accumulated-reinforcer arrangements

None

Accumulated arrangements:

Are highly impractical in clinical practice or classroom settings.

Necessarily result in delayed access to the reinforcer.

Result in more frequent access to the reinforcer than distributed arrangements.

Lead to less overall access to the reinforcer than do distributed arrangements.

None
