Definitions:

Variable-ratio Schedule

A reinforcement schedule in operant conditioning where a response is rewarded after an unpredictable number of responses, which tends to produce high and steady rates of response.

Continuous Reinforcement

A method of learning where every correct response is reinforced every time, leading to faster acquisition of behavior but quicker extinction once reinforcement stops.

Partial Reinforcement

A conditioning schedule where only some responses are reinforced, leading to more resistant behaviors to extinction.

Delayed Reinforcer
