Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fixed-ratio schedule is based on a specific number of behaviors that must be completed before reinforcement occurs, such as every 10th behavior or every 5th behavior. Reinforcing someone every 30 minutes is not based on a specific number of behaviors, so it is not on a fixed-ratio schedule. It may be an example of a fixed-time schedule or other types of schedules.
