Interval schedules are used in operant conditioning to reinforce a behavior after a specific amount of time has passed. They are effective in promoting consistent behavior over time, as the reinforcement is based on the timing of the behavior rather than the number of occurrences. Common examples include fixed interval schedules, where reinforcement is given after a set time (like a weekly paycheck), and variable interval schedules, which provide reinforcement at unpredictable time intervals (like checking for a text message). These schedules help maintain behavior by creating a sense of anticipation and unpredictability in reinforcement.

When a squad is changing to double interval from a normal interval, the command used is "Change interval, double interval." This command instructs the squad to adjust their formation to maintain spacing while increasing the distance between individuals or elements. It is typically used in military formations to ensure effective movement and spacing during maneuvers.

Ratio reinforcement schedules deliver reinforcement based on the number of responses emitted by the individual, while interval reinforcement schedules deliver reinforcement based on the passage of time and the first response after a specified time interval. Ratio schedules tend to generate higher response rates compared to interval schedules.
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.
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.
The four schedules of partial reinforcement—fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, and variable interval—determine how often a behavior is reinforced. In a fixed ratio schedule, reinforcement occurs after a set number of responses, while in a variable ratio schedule, reinforcement is provided after a random number of responses, leading to high and steady rates of behavior. Fixed interval schedules reinforce behavior after a fixed amount of time has passed, resulting in a pause after reinforcement. In contrast, variable interval schedules reinforce behavior after varying time intervals, promoting consistent behavior over time due to unpredictability.
A repeated observation is when you repeat an observation that was already used

When a squad is changing to double interval from a normal interval, the command used is "Change interval, double interval." This command instructs the squad to adjust their formation to maintain spacing while increasing the distance between individuals or elements. It is typically used in military formations to ensure effective movement and spacing during maneuvers.
The term class interval is used in statistics.
