4
Q

What are the 4 schedules of intermittent R.

A
  1. • Fixed ratio-requires the completion of a number of responses to produce a reinforcer.
  2. • Variable ratio-requires the completion of a variable number of responses to produce a reinforcer.
  3. • Fixed interval-provides reinforcement for the first response following a fixed duration of time.
  4. • Variable Interval-provides reinforcement for the first correct response following the elapse of variable durations of time.

Q

Produces consistent, steady rate of response with out post R pause. Rate of response is quick. The size of the ratio influences the rate of the response

Q

typically produce a post-reinforcement pause in responding during the early part of the interval. An initially slow but accelerating rate of response is evident toward the end of the interval, usually reaching a maximum rate just before delivery of the reinforcer.
o Rate of response- schedules tend to produce a slow to moderate rates of response. The duration of the time interval influences the post-reinforcement pause and the rate of response; to a degree, the larger the fixed interval requirement, the longer the post-reinforcement pause and the lower the overall rate of response.

Q

o Pattern of responding- schedules of reinforcement tends to produce a constant, stable rate of response. schedule typically produces few hesitations between responses.
o Rate of response-schedules of reinforcement tend to produce los to moderate rates of response. The average duration of the time intervals on VI schedules influences the rate of response; to a degree, the larger the average interval, the lower the overall rate of response.
