Schedules of Reinforcement Table 6.2 Fixed ratio (FR) Variable ratio (VR) Fixed interval (FI) Variable interval (VI) Reinforcement depends on a definite number of responses—for example, every tenth response. Number of responses needed for reinforcement varies—ten responses, reinforcement; five responses, reinforcement. Reinforcement depends on a fixed time—for example, every thirty seconds. Time between reinforcements varies. Activity slows after reinforce- ment and then picks up. Greatest activity of all schedules results. Activity increases as deadline nears (e.g., students must finish paper by a certain date). Steady activity results. Type Meaning Outcome 29
