Which schedule of reinforcement requires the completion of a specific unvarying number of responses to produce a reinforcer?Variable-ratio Schedule - An intermittent schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered following the completion of a varying number of correct responses since the previous reinforcement.
What are the 4 reinforcement schedules?These four schedules of reinforcement are sometimes referred to as FR, VR, FI, and VI—which stands for fixed-ratio, variable-ratio, fixed-interval, and variable-interval.
What is a variable schedule of reinforcement?In operant conditioning, a variable-ratio schedule is a partial schedule of reinforcement in which a response is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses. 1 This schedule creates a steady, high rate of response. Gambling and lottery games are good examples of a reward based on a variable-ratio schedule.
What is interval schedule reinforcement?In operant conditioning, a fixed interval schedule is when reinforcement is given to a desired response after specific (predictable) amount of time has passed. Such a schedule results in a tendency for organisms to increase the frequency of responses closer to the anticipated time of reinforcement.
