Answer to Question 1

should be consistent with the definitions of fixed and variable ratio schedules.

Answer to Question 2

Answer should include: First, the majority of studies that have advanced the field of applied behavior analysis have used experimental designs that incorporated one or more of those tactics. Second, examination of isolated experimental tactics is one step in learning the assumptions and principles that guide selection and arrangement of those tactics into an effective experimental design for a particular research question.
