A variable ratio schedule of reinforcement is when behavior is reinforced after a varying number of responses. In the case of the car starter, the reinforcement (starting the car) is not consistently delivered after a certain number of key turns, but rather varies. This creates a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement for the behavior of turning the key.
