I'm torn between B and C, but I guess C makes more sense since the question is about a single reinforcer, not using multiple reinforcers together.

I'm going with C. Deprivation is a key factor in determining the reinforcing value of a stimulus.

B could be right too, using the reinforcer with others in the environment can help strengthen its effects.

I see your point, but I still think B is a good option. Using the reinforcer with others in the environment can help strengthen its effects.

That makes sense, but I believe D is more accurate. The effect of the reinforcer will weaken if a variable interval schedule is used.

I think C is likely to be true, the effect of the reinforcer may strengthen with relevant deprivation.

D seems off to me. Using a variable interval schedule would actually maintain the reinforcer's effectiveness, not weaken it.

I think C is the correct answer. The effect of a reinforcer is likely to be stronger when the individual is deprived of it, as they'll value it more.

I agree with Heidy. When there is relevant deprivation, the reinforcer tends to have a stronger effect.
