Detailed explanation-1: -Ratio schedules involve reinforcement after a certain number of responses have been emitted. The fixed ratio schedule involves using a constant number of responses. For example, if the rabbit is reinforced every time it pulls the lever exactly five times, it would be reinforced on an FR 5 schedule.
Detailed explanation-2: -in operant conditioning, reinforcement presented after a prearranged number of responses, in contrast to reinforcement delivered on the basis of a time schedule only.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Ratio” refers to the number of responses that are required in order to receive reinforcement. For example, a fixed-ratio schedule might involve the delivery of a reward for every fifth response. After the subject responds to the stimulus five times, a reward is delivered.
Detailed explanation-4: -Interval means the schedule is based on the time between reinforcements, and ratio means the schedule is based on the number of responses between reinforcements. Reinforcement is delivered at predictable time intervals (e.g., after 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes).
