Answer 1

14.

Intermittent reinforcement schedule exists in case of delivery of reinforcement is done based on some behaviors. It is not done after every response. It is opposite to Continuous reinforcement.

Continuous reinforcement schedule exist in case of delivery of reinforcement is applied number of times especially after every single target behavior. This is better schedule for initial stage of learning. As the new employee being trainees is learning new facts about the firm, hence it is better choice to apply continuous reinforcement schedule.

Hence, the correct answer is Continuous reinforcement.

15. Although many people like to end with implementation the last step really should be Maintenance. This is appropriate term because in the dynamic environment if the project is ended with the implementation part then there is no surety that it will work for longer period and the implementation effects either positive or negative cannot be known. Maintenance would enhance the process or project very effectively to give outcomes. It satisfy customer as well as the team who work on project based on its results.

16. The statement specify the goal that is finish this semester with 3.0 GPA. This is the example of goal specificity because goals are the target which one wants to accomplish with the help of own capabilities and resources. The goal here is 3.0 GPA. The goal is specific in nature because it is accountable in nature. The goal setter does not point the highest achievement in the statement, although which is also possible. The goal setter analyse the capabilities and decide that 3.0 GPA is feasible to achieve.

17. When I send your grade and late assignment information that is an example of performance evaluation.

When the assignments are given then their results should be disseminated to the performer by the evaluator. This helps in the system building and bringing the errors or gaps. This helps in finding out where the work lies in between. Hence, performance evaluation is communicated to fellows with the help of either verbal communication or Non- verbal communication. This is an example of non-verbal communication.
