Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: In fixed-interval reinforcement, the timing of the reinforcement has nothing to do with the number of responses. The reinforcer arrives only after the passage of a given time period and the emission of the correct response. Skinner's research showed that the shorter the interval between presentations of the reinforcer, the greater the frequency of response.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: From infancy on, we display many behaviors, and those that are reinforced will strengthen and form patterns. This is how Skinner conceived of personality, as a pattern or collection of operant behaviors.
