Schedules of Reinforcement

Understanding schedules of reinforcement can assist a behavior analyst in understanding why a behavior occurs at a certain rate or how to promote a rate of behavior that is desired.

In your post:

• Define continuous reinforcement schedule and intermittent reinforcement schedule, either in your own words or paraphrased.
• Provide an example of continuous reinforcement and explain why it is continuous reinforcement.
• Provide two examples of intermittent reinforcement and explain how each one is intermittent reinforcement:
  • One demonstrating a ratio schedule.
  • One demonstrating an interval schedule.
