Answer:

DRL

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this sounds like a Differential reinforcement of low rates of behavior (DRL) schedule. This is a schedule created by Ferster and Skinner in 1957 which they describe as being a schedule in which a certain amount of time must pass in between two responses before reinforcement is introduced to the individuals.
