Please answer these questions!!

Hey, just a few questions that I'm a little confused with that I desperately need to clarify!

• Which schedule of reinforcement is most resistant to extinction (variable interval or ratio??)
• Which schedule of reinforcement has the highest rate of responding (fixed ratio or variable ratio??)
• Is catastrophic thinking a type of cognitive bias or is it what happens as a result of cognitive biases?
• How are synapses formed?
• What role does LTP have in learning? Do we need to mention LTP when talking about neural changes during learning?

If anyone has other doubts, feel free to add on

Thanks in advance

edit: added on 2 more questions[/list]

            Type of cognitive bias

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I get confused with these also...

Ok thanks! I hope these are correct, cos I've been thinking the same thing
Can someone please answer my other questions as well??

What role does LTP have in learning? Do we need to mention LTP when talking about neural changes during learning?
It either strengthens existing connections or it establishes new connections at the synapse. LTP results in the long lasting strengthening in the communication between two neurons, resulting in more effective functioning the next time the neurons are activated. Yes. You would talk about LTP when asked about neural changes. As well, LTP changes the neuron; makes the dendrites bushier, makes more synaptic connections & makes more neurotransmitter released.

Variable ratio is most resistant to extinction

Synapses are formed when new memories are made. (Learning occurs)
Or during synaptogenesis.
