Explain your answer to # 3.
With #2, you would anticipate seeing Melody start looking at the clock more frequently as 2:00 pm approaches. This is so that the practice of monitoring the clock earlier to the conclusion of school is reinforced by the set frequency scheduling. The period between rewards becomes closer to 2:00 pm, which causes the actions to happen more frequently. As the conclusion of class draws near, Melody is inclined to reach for the time more often.
