|---|---|
 Continuous Schedule of Reinforcement (CRF) | Every correct response is rewarded (used for Acquisition). |
| Partial (or intermittent) Reinforcement Schedule (PRF) types (for fluency) | Fixed Ratio (FR), Variable Ratio (VR), Random Ratio (RR), Fixed Interval (FI), Variable Interval (VI) |
| Fixed Ratio (FR) | A fixed ratio schedule refers to applying the reinforcement after a specific number of behaviors. Real-world example: FR10" = Used car dealer gets a $1000 bonus for each 10 cars sold on the lot. activity slows after reinforcer and then picks up |
| Variable Ratio (VR) | This refers to applying a reinforcer after a variable number of responses. Slot Machine effect. |
| Fixed Interval (FI) | Refers to applying a reinforcer after a specific amount of time. Exmp: getting a raise every year and not in between. activity increases as deadline nears, can cause fast extinction |
| Random Ratio (RR) | An unpredictable # correct responses will be rewarded. |
| Variable Interval (VI) | The first response after a variable time interval is reinforced. ex: Checking VM, calls come in @ various times. steady activity results, good resistance to extinction |
| Differential Rates Reinforcement Schedule | Differential reinforcemnt of high rates of behavior (DRH), Differential reinforcemnt of low rates of behavior (DRL) |
| Differential Types of Reinforcement Schedule | Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO), differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI), Differential reinforcement of excellent behavior (DRE) |
| Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) | Rewarding all other behaviors beside the one you are trying to eliminate ex: standing, sitting or shaking paw instead of jumping. |
| Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI). | Reward only incompatible behavior (counter-commanding, alternative response training). Used to reduce a frequent behavior without punishing it |
| Differential reinforcement of excellent behavior (DRE) | Only the very best responses are rewarded. |
| Duration Reinforcement Schedule | Fixed duration (FD), Variable Duration (VD), Random Duration (RD) Teach duration by 1st varying and making time random. |
| Fixed Duration (FD) | Behavior must be engaged in for a fixed amount of time in order to receive reinforcement. Ex: an hourly employee |
| Variable Duration | Interval of time the behavior must be engaged in varies Ex: waiting to cross a busy intersection |
| Primary Reinforcer (unconditoned reinforcer) | stimulus that does not require pairing to function as a reinforcer (food, water etc) |
| Negative reinforcement | . the taking away of an aversive stimulus to increase certain behavior or response-relief. |
| INTERVAL Schedule | the amount of time that passes between reinforcers |
| RATIO Schedule | Based on the number of responses learners give between reinforcers |
| Negative punishment (omission training) | the taking away of an appetitive stimulus to decrease a certain behavior (frustration) |
| secondary reinforcer/ conditioned reinforcer | has acquired its function as a reinforcer after pairing with a stimulus that functions as a reinforcer. example: clicker sound, "yes". |
