Casinos maximize the amount of money that people are willing to put into slot machines by making sure that the slot machines pay out jackpots on a reinforcement schedule that is the most resistant to behavior extinction. these machines use which reinforcement schedule?

Variable ratio schedule

Explanation:

In psychology and operant conditioning, the learning of a behavior takes place thanks to reinforcements which is a stimulus that increases the probability of the occurrence of the behavior.

The reinforcements can be presented in numerous ways and forms in time. One of these schedules of reinforcement is the variable ratio schedule, in which the response is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses.  

Since people do not know when they will be rewarded, this create a more persistent behavior and one that is difficult to extinct.

Casinos use this type of reinforcement in slot machines, making the person win after different number of responses and therefore, the person who is gambling keeps doing it in hopes that the next time he will get the jackpot.

the correct answer is 2.

a slump in geology means a mass movement process of slope failure. a mass of rock or unconsolidated material drops along a slip surface. in other words, rock layers move a short distance down the slope. the slump block is an intact block (2), without any landslide material.

in this image, 1 is the surface of rapture (scarp), 2 the slump block, 3 main scarp (crown), 4 base of rapture with debris flow.

slumps are caused by clear cutting on unstable soils and the sagging of earth, in coastal areas they are due to wave infiltration.
