A reinforcer should not be given how?

  1. In small, ineffective quantities

  2. In large quantities, so they contact lots of reinforcement in a short amount of time

  3. Sporadically and unpredictably

  4. After a significant delay

The correct answer is: In large quantities, so they contact lots of reinforcement in a short amount of time

A reinforcer should not be given in large quantities, because this can lead to overstimulation or desensitization towards the reinforcement. It is important to give reinforcers in appropriate amounts and at appropriate times in order to maintain the effectiveness of the reinforcement. Options A, C, and D are also incorrect because reinforcers should not be given in small, ineffective quantities, sporadically and unpredictably, or after a significant delay as this can diminish the reinforcing effect and make it less effective in influencing behavior.
