The logic of Exercise 39 was to compare the relative frequencies of the behaviors in Sniffy’s behavioral repertoire under continuous reinforcement and the four basic schedules, each with a value of 50. Of specific interest was the relative frequency of drinking and whether it increased in frequency under the standard schedules—a phenomenon known as
a. scheduled thirst induction.
b. schedule-induced polydipsia.
c. schedule-elicited hyperhydration.
d. schedule-invoked complementarity.
b. schedule-induced polydipsia.
Answer feedback: The original research by Falk termed the excessive drinking that was observed polydipsia, which is a clinical term, and because it was the by-product of reinforcement schedules, therefore, schedule-induced.
