How do the four schedules of reinforcement work?
Fixed-ratio schedule - reinforcement depends on a specific number of correct responses before reinforcement can be obtained. Like rewarding every fourth response. Variable-ratio schedule - reinforcement does not required a fixed or set number of responses before reinforcement can be obtained. Like slot machines in the casinos. Fixed-interval schedule - reinforcement in which a specific amount of time must elapse before a response will elicit reinforcement. Like studying feverishly the day before the test. Variable-interval schedule - reinforcement in which changing amounts of time must elapse before a response will abtain reinforcement.
What is variable ratio schedule?
A variable ratio schedule is applied to operant learning. It is the rate in which a reinforcement (reward) for a particular behavior is obtained. A variable ratio schedule is when the reinforcement is sometimes won, sometimes not won.Example:1. Casinos. The reinforcement would be the money won. Sometimes the money is won, but sometimes it isn't.2. Abusive relationships. Sometimes the partner that is doing the abuse is nice, sometimes he/she isn't nice. The "kindness" is the reinforcement.The behavior is the same, but the rate in which the reinforcement is obtained varies.
What are some schedules of reinforcement?
There are two kinds of reinforcement schedules. The first is continuous reinforcement where desired behavior is reinforced every time. The second schedule is partial reinforcement where a response is reinforced part of the time. Within partial reinforcement, there are four schedules which include fixed-ratio, variable-ratio, and fixed-interval and variable- interval.
What schedule of reinforcement is best for building persistence?
A variable ratio schedule of reinforcement is best for building persistence. This schedule provides reinforcement after a varying number of desired behaviors, which helps to maintain consistent motivation and effort over time. The unpredictability of reinforcement keeps individuals engaged and persevering in their actions.
What is partial reinforcement?
Partial reinforcement is when an individual is rewarded on some, but not all, trials. There are multiple variants of partial reinforcement (fixed interval, variable interval, fixed ratio) but the schedule that is most likely to have the slowest extinction rate is variable ratio, meaning that after a certain number of trials between two values, a reward will be given. A real life example of this is gambling.
What schedule of reinforcement are individuals least likely to satiate on?
Individuals are least likely to satiate on variable ratio schedules of reinforcement. This is because reinforcement is given after a variable number of responses, leading to a consistent level of motivation and engagement in the behavior.
You want to provide a partial reinforcement schedule to motivate factory workers your main concern is to produce behavior that resist extinction you decide to choose a what?

What are the two schedules of reinforcement that produce the most effective rates of response?
Answer:Continuous and partial. Partial reinforcement schedule can be: fixed-interval, fixed-ratio, variable-interval, or variable-ratio. See the related link below for more details. Answer:Continuous reinforcement is most effective at the start so the subject learns to associate the behavior with the reward. Afterword this is learned a switch to partial reinforcement can be done - more specifically, a variable-ratio schedule produces the strongest response and slowest extinction.
When the number of responses is important to a schedule of reinforcement that schedule is called a schedule?
A schedule of reinforcement that is based on the number of responses is called a ratio schedule. In ratio schedules, reinforcement is given after a specific number of responses. This type of schedule often leads to high rates of responding by the individual compared to other schedules.
What are four types of intermittent schedules of reinforcement?
Four types of intermittent schedules of reinforcement are fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, and variable interval. Fixed ratio schedules provide reinforcement after a set number of responses, while variable ratio schedules provide reinforcement after a varying number of responses. Fixed interval schedules provide reinforcement after a set time interval, while variable interval schedules provide reinforcement after a varying time interval.
When is reinforcement given on an intermittent reinforcement schedule?
Reinforcement is given on an intermittent reinforcement schedule at varying and unpredictable intervals, such as after a specific number of responses (ratio schedule) or after a specific amount of time has passed (interval schedule). This type of reinforcement schedule can be more effective in maintaining behavior compared to continuous reinforcement.
Which schedule of reinforcement is programmed into slot machines?
varriable ratio
