An interval schedule of reinforcement involves the delivery of a reinforcer after a certain amount of time has passed since the last reinforcement, regardless of the number of responses. This can be further broken down into fixed interval (reinforcer delivered after a fixed amount of time) and variable interval (reinforcer delivered after a variable, unpredictable amount of time).
