Question

A local radio station gives away concert tickets at random times everyday to reward listeners. What schedule of reinforcement are they using?

a. fixed interval


b. variable interval


c. fixed ratio


d. variable ration

Answer 1

b. variable interval

Step-by-step explanation:

Schedules of reinforcement based on lapsed time are known as interval schedules. They are either fixed-interval or variable-interval schedules.

Variable-interval schedules provide reinforcement/reward after random time-interval. The interval of time is irregular but revolves around some average length of time. Reinforcement is therefore dispensed unevenly within a stated period.
