consequences is done according to different
schedules
• Continuous
• Intermittent
Schedules of Consequences
Continuous reinforcement – the target
behavior is followed by a consequence each
time it occurs.
• Excellent for getting new behavior started that
you want to increase.
• Behavior stops quickly when reinforcement
stops.
• The schedule of choice for
decreasing behavior.
Schedules of Consequences
Intermittent schedules based on either
• Passage of time
OR
• Number of correct responses
Schedules of Consequences
Consequence can be delivered based on
• A fixed amount of time or number of
correct responses
OR
• A slightly different amount of time or
number of correct responses that vary
around a particular number
Schedules of Consequences
This results in four classes of intermittent
schedules.
Fixed Interval
• consequence is given or removed when
the first target response is emitted after a
set amount of time has passed.
• The time period required is always the
same.
• Example: Spelling test every Friday.
Schedules of Consequences
Pattern of behavior for fixed interval schedule
Schedules of Consequences
This results in four classes of intermittent
schedules.
Variable Interval
• Consequence is given or removed when
the first target response is emitted after a
set amount of time has passed.
• A time period is then set with the average
equaling a specific number.
• Example: Pop quiz.
Schedules of Consequences
Pattern of behavior for variable interval schedule
Schedules of Consequences
This results in four classes of intermittent
schedules.
Fixed Ratio
• Consequence is given or removed when a
specified number of target responses have
been emitted.
• A number of required target behaviors
stays the same.
• Example: 10 math problems for
homework.
Schedules of Consequences
Pattern of behavior for fixed interval schedule
Schedules of Consequences
This results in four classes of intermittent
schedules.
Variable Ratio
• Consequence is given or removed when a
specified number of target responses have
been emitted.
• The number of required target behaviors
changes around an average.
• Example: students raises hand to be called
upon.
