Question

When does a fixed-ratio schedule provide reinforcement?

Select one:
a. after any number of correct responses have been made
b. after a fixed number of correct responses are made
c. after a two-week period passes
d. after varying time intervals

Answer 1

A fixed-ratio schedule provides reinforcement after a fixed number of correct responses are made.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fixed-ratio schedule provides reinforcement after a fixed number of correct responses are made. For example, if a student earns a reward sticker for every 10 pages they read, it follows a fixed-ratio schedule because the reinforcement (sticker) occurs after a specific number of responses (10 pages read).
