Question 2

Andy has recently been employed in a factory where plastic cutlery is boxed and shipped. Andy's job is to check every 3rd box to ensure the correct number of knives, spoons, or forks are included. Andy's boss wants him to increase his overall speed (the number of boxes checked per hour) now that he has reached a 100 accuracy rate. Andy's job coach suggests the boss require Andy to increase his number of boxes checked by 1 per hour (4 per day) in one week increments. If Andy reaches his quota for 5 consecutive work days, he will be rewarded with a bonus of 20 to be implemented permanently when he reaches and maintains his final quota of 20 boxes checked per hour for 3 weeks.
 
  What design are the psychologist and boss implementing? Explain your answer.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A changing criterion for reinforcement is being used.
Because Andy is being required to gradually increase his target behavior in a step-wise fashion (and in response to a criterion for reinforcement), this would indeed be a changing criterion design.
