00:01 So in this problem, we are looking at reinforcement schedules.

00:06 So if you remember this graph right here, this shows the different efficacies of different reinforcement schedules.

00:13 So you have your interval schedules right here, and you can see that these are slower in creating the number of successful responses.

00:24 So what that means is that you can tell by the slope, it takes a longer time on an interval schedule to get the success.

00:31 Number of responses.

00:33 So in my case, let's say i'm trying to train my cat to jump through a hoop.

00:39 If i put them on a interval schedule of reinforcement, it will take longer for my cat to learn that behavior and acquire that behavior of jumping through a hoop.

00:50 And an interval schedule just as a reminder means that you are rewarding that behavior, not based off of success of them actually jumping through the hoop of actually doing that behavior, but based off of time.

01:01 So it's a little more arbitrary in that sense.

01:05 It's, you know, every five minutes giving a reward rather than every time they're successful.

01:11 On the other hand, you have your ratio schedules.

01:14 And you can tell by their slope that they are much more effective in teaching that behavior, reinforcing that behavior to a degree in which it happens more regularly up here, more regularly successfully.

01:28 So in a ratio schedule, you're reinforcing that behavior.

01:31 Behavior based off of the number of times that behavior was done successfully.

01:36 So this would mean in a fixed ratio, it would mean, you know, every third time my cat jumped through a hoop, i would give my cat a treat.

01:43 Or in a variable ratio, it would mean i would give my cat a treat based off of every third time, maybe the first few times, and then the fifth time, that like ratio of how many times you wait before giving your cat a treat, how many successful responses you wait varies.

02:00 So that's the difference between ratio and interval and then also variable ratio and fixed ratio...
