Detailed explanation-1: -A fixed ratio schedule delivers reinforcement after a certain number of responses are delivered. Fixed ratio schedules produce high rates of response until a reward is received, which is then followed by a pause in the behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ratio reinforcement schedule: Reinforcement is provided after a specific number of correct responses. Two types of ratio reinforcement schedules may be used: fixed and variable.
Detailed explanation-3: -A ratio schedule requires that a completion of a number of responses occur before reinforcement is received, where as an interval schedule requires the occurrence of at least one correct response after a set period of time before reinforcement is received.
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.
