Study Notes
Fixed Ratio
- Reinforcement occurs after a specific number of responses.
- Example: "Buy two get one free" promotions.
- This schedule creates a strong and predictable response pattern.
Variable Ratio
- Reinforcement is delivered after a random number of responses.
- Example: Slot machines, where winning is unpredictable.
- This schedule leads to high response rates due to the chance of reward.
Fixed Interval
- Reinforcement is provided after a set period, regardless of the number of responses.
- Example: Employees are paid every Friday.
- This schedule can lead to a pause in responses immediately after reinforcement.
Variable Interval
- Reinforcement is given after varying lengths of time, unpredictable to the responder.
- Example: Fishing or pop quizzes that occur at random times.
- This schedule encourages consistent responses as the reinforcement timing is uncertain.
