Jack has a job washing trucks. He gets paid after every 20 trucks he washes. What reinforcement schedule is this?
  1. Continuous reinforcement
  2. Intermittent reinforcement
  3. Fixed ratio schedule
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - A fixed ratio schedule is one that reinforces a behavior after a set number of responses. A continuous reinforcement schedule is one that reinforces every occurrence of a behavior. An intermittent reinforcement schedule reinforces a behavior only occasionally. Since Jack only gets paid after washing 20 trucks, this is a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement.
