Definitions:

Variable-Ratio Reinforcement

A schedule of reinforcement where a response is rewarded after an unpredictable number of responses, promoting a high and steady response rate.

Fixed-Ratio Reinforcement

A type of conditioning schedule where a response is reinforced only after a specified number of responses have occurred.

Variable-Interval Reinforcement

A schedule of reinforcement where responses are rewarded after unpredictable intervals of time, enhancing response rates and resistance to extinction.

Fixed-Interval Reinforcement

A schedule in operant conditioning where rewards are provided after a specified time period has elapsed, regardless of the behavior exhibited.
