The variable-ratio schedule of reinforcement is considered the most effective in producing a high, steady rate of responding with desired behaviors that are difficult to extinguish. This is because reinforcement occurs after an unpredictable number of responses, making it difficult for the individual to determine when reinforcement will occur, leading to a consistent and persistent behavior.
