Match List-I with List-II and indicate your answer using the codes given below :
| List - I (Brief description) | List - II (Type of reinforcement) |
|---|---|
| p. reinforcement occurs after a set time period | 1. fixed ratio |
| q. reinforcement occurs after a set number of responses | 2. variable interval |
| r. reinforcement occurs after a varying time period | 3. fixed interval |
| s. reinforcement occurs after a varying number of responses | 4. variable ratio |
Answer: A
Reinforcement after a set time period is a fixed interval schedule (3), after a set number of responses a fixed ratio (1), after a varying time period a variable interval (2), and after a varying number of responses a variable ratio (4). The code is 3 1 2 4. Interval schedules depend on time, and ratio schedules depend on the number of responses, so the other codes that match time with ratio are wrong. These are the four basic schedules of partial reinforcement described by Skinner; variable schedules give steadier and more persistent responding than fixed ones.
