increases the likelihood that the behavior of interest will be reliably detected by observers or measurement equipment.

D.

makes calibration checks of observers or measurement equipment less necessary.

B.

proportion of responses for each alternative will become equal over time.

C.

organism will respond exclusively to the alternative with the highest rate of reinforcement.

D.

proportion of responses across the two alternatives will equal the proportion of reinforcers obtained for those alternatives.
