Changing from a VR-5 schedule to a VR-50 schedule in one step will most likely produce
a. a smooth acceleration in response rate.
b. a cyclical pattern of responding—fast then slow.
c. faster reinforcement.
d. extinction.
d. extinction.
Answer feedback: When previous schedule exposure has been limited only to a small VR schedule, a switch to a schedule with a response requirement 10 times greater is most likely to produce extinction. For this reason, the switch should occur through a series of progressively greater schedule values until the value of 50 is reached.
