Document Summary
Refers to the pattern of delivering reinforcers. Partial incorrect occurs when we reinforce responses only some of the time. Behavior is reinforced every time it occurs. Behavior is reinforced on some occasion but no others. Run rate: rate at which which orgasims performed once behavior initiad stays fairly constant, regardless of ratio size. Ratio run: high and steady rate of responding that completes each ration requirement. Varies the requirement of responding around some average # of responses. Different number of responses required for delivery of each reward. Vr schedule usually produces more behavior than. Occurs despite fact vr and fr payoff the same. Reinforcement dispensed following a behavior, but only after the behavior occurs after a given period of time. Pattern referred to as fixed interval scallop. Unlike fr, subjects typically start responding slowly and increase rate as time availability of the next reinforce draws closer. Varies the interval during which performance is not reinforced around some average.
