Troy University Week 7 Reinforcement Schedules Discussion
I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation to help me learn.
Understanding schedules of reinforcement can assist a behavior analyst in understanding why a behavior occurs at a certain rate or how to promote a rate of behavior that is desired.
In your post:
- Define continuous reinforcement schedule and intermittent reinforcement schedule, either in your own words or paraphrased.
- Provide an example of continuous reinforcement and explain why it is continuous reinforcement.
- Provide two examples of intermittent reinforcement and explain how each one is intermittent reinforcement:
- One demonstrating a ratio schedule.
- One demonstrating an interval schedule.
