Detailed explanation-1: -A fixed interval is a set amount of time between occurrences of something like a reward, result, or review. Some examples of a fixed interval schedule are a monthly review at work, a teacher giving a reward for good behavior each class, and a weekly paycheck.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -An example of a fixed-ratio schedule would be delivering a food pellet to a rat after it presses a bar five times.
Detailed explanation-4: -Your Employer Checking Your Work: Does your boss drop by your office a few times throughout the day to check your progress? This is an example of a variable-interval schedule. These check-ins occur at unpredictable times, so you never know when they might happen.
