Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Matching and melioration both describe how behavior can be distributed among various choices based on the relative rates of reinforcement. Matching suggests that the distribution of behavior across choices matches the distribution of reinforcement rates among those choices. Melioration refers to the process of shifting behavior towards alternatives that offer better reinforcement. Robynne spending more time in the marketing department, presumably because she finds it more reinforcing than working at her desk, illustrates these principles.
