5 Operant Conditioning Fixed-ratio schedules Predictable
Reinforced only after a specified number of responses produces high, steady rate of responding brief pause after the delivery of the reinforcement Ie: Summer Library Reading

Reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses produces high, steady rate of responding Ie: Gambling- slots, sales, and lottery
