The employees never know when Jonesy will make his rounds, but anticipating his appearance causes people to work hard to get rewarded. This is an example of which type of intermittent reinforcement? a. fixed ratio schedule b. variable interval schedule c. variable ratio schedule d. fixed interval schedule Moving to the next question prevents changes to this answer.

00:01 Okay, so we've got a situation where a factory is paying its employees every single wednesday.

00:06 And they say that on thursdays the day after they get paid, the productivity seems to be a little slow, but gradually throughout the week, we get back to that peak productivity, which always occurs on wednesday, which is payday.

00:35 So interval is going to be referring to time.

00:39 So this is going to refer to time.

00:44 So is it taking place over a set amount of time? then we have our variable ratio for part b.

00:55 Ratio means that a certain number of things is going to have to be done.

01:01 So instead of occurring over time, it's going to be maybe i have to put five coins in a slot machine.

01:08 To achieve a certain result, instead of having to wait a certain number of time for that result.
