Answer: C - Interval reinforcement is reinforcement which occurs on a set time-based schedule, such as a monthly performance review.

Key Takeaway: As part of the reinforcement theory, there are two types of reinforcement schedules that can be used: interval reinforcement and ratio reinforcement. Interval reinforcement is time-based and does not rely on the actions of the employee to trigger the positive or negative reinforcement. Ratio schedule reinforcement, on the other hand, is behavior based reinforcement and can be triggered based on the actions of the employee, such as completing a project.
