In behavioral economics, what term is used for the reinforcer? 

The point at which the amount of the reinforcer and the delay are the same. For example, the point at which I switch my choice from the larger, delayed reinforcer to the smaller, immediate reinforcer. 

In a two-choice situation for pigeons, the left key has a VI schedule that delivers 60 reinforcers per hour, and the right key has a VI schedule that delivers 20 reinforcers per hour. The matching law predicts that a pigeon will make _______ of its responses on the left key.

(T/F) Smokers performed the same as the control group on delay discounting tasks. 

Initially, the rate of reinforcement is the same in context A and context B. Later, the reinforcement rate doubles in context A. What will happen to responding in context B? 

If I wanted you to study consistently, every day for this class, what interval reinforcement schedule would you recommend? Why?

Sawyer is a U.S. Senator on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.  As a result of Sawyer’s position, he learns that several oil-producing countries are about to cut production of oil in order to increase the price of oil.  (The Committee was evaluating whether such an action would de-stabilize any U.S. interests in the region.)  Sawyer also recognizes that, as the price of oil rises, oil companies will profit from the price increase, including Big Oil Inc. (“BOI”).  Sawyer is not an officer, director or shareholder in BOI when he learns this information, but he buys stock in BOI before the information is announced publicly.  Once the information is announced, BOI’s stock skyrockets, and Sawyer makes a lot of money.  If, based upon these facts, Sawyer is prosecuted for insider trading, is Sawyer likely to lose or to prevail?
