Watched this because this was the shortest video there! So easy to understand! Thank you. To all the others : we're all studying, nobody has 20 minutes to hear you talk about pulling a lever ;)

Fixed ratio: a specific dollar for every blouse
Variable ratio: Gambling
Fixed interval: monthly salaries
Variable interval: surprise quiz

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Studying for an exam and wasn't quite getting variable ratio schedules, and I came to YouTube. This video was short, got to the point, explained very clearly and it's all I need. Thank you very much.

[SlavSquatSenpai]

Ah perfect. The only video on YT that applied the concepts properly and made it clear. Thank you for the explanation!

[chainstair]

U killed it... After checking some graphs on google, u made everything much easier to understand.

[MinuteLeech]

Thanks, my book was very confusing, your explanation is much better!

This is the most helpful video I’ve found on this topic! I was struggling to understand it but this explained it to well! Thank you! X

[PhoofsMom]

Very well done! Used to assist students in my Animal Behavior course. Thank you.

[stevenquinones]

this video goes straight to the point in explaining schedule of reinforcement. This video is a simplified version of the 1st video.

I think my response to learning this topic was a variable interval schedule pattern. The interest did hold me otherwise a negative reinforcement was due. :>

Wow! Amazing  Job - extremely helpful! :)

He knows what he is talking about. Great Job!

[Jazzv]

[aalyceademory]

simple and straightforward, excellent!

[navikabansal]

literally the easiest explanation THANK YOU <3<3

Fixed Interval: Waiting a SPECIFIED amount of time until being reinforced. (being paid every 2 weeks)
-Low response rate that increase when closer to reinforcements

Variable interval: Waiting for a particular amount of time until being reinforced (elevators)

Fixed Ratio: Being reinforced for an x # of times

Variable Ratios: Doing something an unspecified # of times to until reinforcements (gambling)

I think I'm having difficulty understanding what "a response" is on the y-axis. Is this just the operant?

[candacelee]

The definitions were great, but the examples didn't apply to working with clients. This would be much more helpful if the example was shown during DTT, DTI, etc
