Definitions:

Fixed Ratio

A reinforcement schedule in which a response is rewarded only after a certain number of responses have been made, resulting in a consistent and high rate of responding.

Variable Ratio

A reinforcement schedule in which a response is rewarded after a random number of responses, leading to a high resistance to extinction.

Fixed Interval

A schedule of reinforcement where the first response is rewarded only after a specified amount of time has elapsed, leading to a pattern of responses.

Variable Interval

Variable interval refers to a type of reinforcement schedule in operant conditioning where a response is rewarded after an unpredictable amount of time has passed, leading to a steady and resistant response rate.
