The matching law predicts that 57 of responses should be emitted on the VI 15-sec alternative and 43 on the VI 20-sec alternative. A pigeon actually emits 70 of responses on the VI 15-sec alternative and 30 on the VI 20-sec alternative. This is an example of:
 
  A) COD.
  B) undermatching.
  C) overmatching.
  D) optimization.

Question 2

On a concurrent VI 30-sec VI 90-sec schedule, a pigeon responded four times as often on the VI 30-sec alternative. This is an example of
 
  A) matching.
  B) undermatching.
  C) overmatching.
  D) COD.

Question 3

Given the same physical distance between two patches of food, a slow-moving sloth would be more likely to show _____ than a fast-moving bird.
 
  A) undermatching
  B) overmatching
  C) bias
  D) spontaneous recovery

Question 4

A fox with a sore leg would likely show _____ when distributing its time between various patches of food.
 
  A) matching
  B) undermatching
  C) overmatching
  D) bias

---

Question 5

On a concurrent schedule, one alternative attracts a higher proportion of responses than would be predicted by matching, regardless of whether the associated schedule is the richer or the poorer schedule. This is an indication of
 
  A) overmatching.
  B) undermatching.
  C) bias.
  D) a short COD.

Question 6

A short COD is the experimental equivalent of two patches of food that are
 
  A) situated close to each other.
  B) situated far apart.
  C) very abundant.
  D) becoming depleted.

Question 7

Which of the following will most likely be the result of no COD on a concurrent VI 60-sec VI 20-sec schedule?
 
  A) No responses emitted on the VI 60-sec schedule
  B) 50 of responses emitted on the VI 60-sec schedule
  C) 90 of responses emitted on the VI 20-sec schedule
  D) 100 of responses emitted on the VI 60-sec schedule
