    What is the key difference between a fixed-ratio (FR) schedule and a variable-ratio (VR) schedule of reinforcement in operant conditioning?

    <p>In a FR schedule, reinforcement occurs at a fixed rate according to the number of operant responses emitted, while in a VR schedule, reinforcement occurs at an unpredictable rate according to the number of operant responses emitted</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the difference between a fixed-interval (FI) schedule and a variable-interval (VI) schedule of reinforcement in operant conditioning?

    <p>In a FI schedule, reinforcement occurs only after a fixed amount of time has passed, while in a VI schedule, the animal cannot predict how long the time interval will be</p> Signup and view all the answers
