no, i was told variable ratio is the most resistant to extinction, and in the VCAA papers the schedule with the 'highest and steadiest rate' is also stated as variable ratio.

+1 Yep.

if a questions asks for ONE limitation or watever
and i give two will i automatically lose the mark?
or
just in general if i provide two options and one is correct but the other isnt or even if both are correct would i still get the mark/s?

If you give two responses, they will only read the first one.

is there reinforcement in classical condition?

if so would the stimulus (meat power) in Pavlov's experiment also be the reinforcer?

and then what would be the reinforcer in the Little Albert experiment?

Reinforcement is more an operant conditioning term than a classical conditioning term

It's not 'reinforcement' because it isn't encouraging behaviour, it's strengthening the association between the two stimuli.
A reinforcer is a desirable consequence (ie. a reward of the removal of something undesirable)

thanks for the quick reply!

help help!
quickest to extinguish is continuous, then fixed ratio, all the others, THEN variable interval

quickest to aquire is continuous then?

and hardest to extinguish is variable interval?

[d0minicz]

yeh continuous = quickest to acquire
variable ratio is hardest to extinguish

yeah that'd be about right
