You are observing a rat lever pressing for food and you notice the pigeon seems to increase its rate of responding towards the end of a two minute period, food is made available, and then lever pressing slows until the end of the next two minutes. Based on this scalloped pattern of responding, you hypothesize that the rat is on a schedule. Group of answer choices

fixed interval reinforcement schedule

Explanation:

Fixed Interval Reinforcement Schedule is a form of reinforcement schedules where by behavior is rewarded or delivered after a set amount of time intervals. For example; 4, 8, 12, and 16 minutes

It is believed that, Fixed Interval Reinforcement Schedule causes high amounts of responding near the end of the interval but much slower responding immediately after the delivery of the reinforcer.

Hence, it was noticed that the pigeon seems to increase its rate of responding towards the end of a two minute period, food is made available, and then lever pressing slows until the end of the next two minutes.

in this scenario it would be the consumer demand as most influential in making the decision. the band members need to figure out where and from whom they will make the most money, in other words who out of the two consumer groups - football fans or car drivers - will spend their money, who is more likely to contribute to their cause and buy what they are offering.
