Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interval schedules are based on time intervals, meaning that behavior is reinforced based on the passage of time rather than the number of times the behavior occurs. As time passes, the probability of the behavior occurring increases, and reinforcement is provided on a partial basis (i.e., not every instance of the behavior is reinforced). This strengthens the behavior over time.
