reinforcement schedule
prescription for a particular contingency, describes the arrangement between discriminative stimuli, responses, and consequences

reinforcement schedule
continuous reinforcement
every response is reinforced
CRF FR1
every response is reinforced

fixed ratio (FR)
reinforcer given every n number of responses
has post-reinforcement pause
reinforcer given every n number of responses
fixed ratio (FR)
fixed interval (FI)
reinforcer given for one response after every time frame is completed
scallop cumulative recorder
reinforcer given for one response after every time frame is completed

variable ratio (VR)
reinforcer given after approximately every n number of responses
highest response rate
reinforcer given after approximately every n number of responses
variable ratio (VR)
highest response rate
variable interval (VI)
reinforcer given for one response after approximately similar time frame is completed
like VR but lower
reinforcer given for one response after approximately similar time frame is completed
variable interval (VI)
like VR but lower
resistance to extinction
CRF is easier to extinguish compared to intermittent schedules
CRF is easier to extinguish compared to intermittent schedules
resistance to extinction
partial reinforcement effect
after earning a reinforcer, the subject stops responding for a while before starting again
