Question

Is my example correct? Did I come up with an example that is consistent with the definition of the fixed interval reinforcement? Or did I do something wrong? That's it. That's my question.

There are four schedules of reinforcement:

  1. Fixed-ratio reinforcement (# of times)
  2. Variable ratio reinforcement
  3. Fixed interval reinforcement (length of time)
  4. Variable interval reinforcement

 

Fixed interval reinforcement: in this type of schedule, reinforcement is distributed after every set of responses gets completed.

For example- if someone allows their children to watch TV (the TV is the reward) at a given time every day only after they do their homework for an hour, this is what fixed interval reinforcement will look like.5
