Document Summary
Every time a desired response is produce, reinforcement is provided. Trying to learn from scratch, this schedule is better. Reinforcement is provided after some, not all responses. This schedule makes the behavior more ingrained and hard to unlearn once accomplished. Skinner box, pigeon had to peck three times. Talking about amount of time since last reinforcement was provided. Same number of desired response is required. Three responses are needed is called a fr3 schedule and so on. This kind of schedule is like being paid based on how much work you do assembling ten things gets you paid, you"re going to try to build as many as you can to get the most money. Hash marks on the graph represent where reinforcement is provided. High rate of response followed by a brief pause after reinforcement. Number of responses required varies for each event. Having to peck different numbers each time but it is still based on number of responses.
