Answer to Question 1

Full-session DRL involves delivering reinforcement at the end of an instructional session if the target behavior was below a predetermined criterion for the entire session. For example, if the target behavior is pencil sharpening, then the learner would need to sharpen his pencil only 2 times (if that is the criterion) throughout the entire class period. In interval DRL, the instructional session is divided into a series of smaller intervals, and the learner receives reinforcement if his/her behavior does not exceed the predetermined criterion for each interval. For example, the teacher could divide a class period into two intervals, and the learner could earn reinforcement for each interval during which he/she sharpened his/her pencil fewer than 2 times

Answer to Question 2

A DRO interval can be increased by a constant duration of time (say 15 seconds each time), proportionately (say by 10 each time), or based on the learner's performance

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
