Please follow the links posted at bottom. They both provide information concerning punishment and reinforcement, which may provide you with a better understanding. In addition, the term extinction is introduced and the reinforcement schedules are also introduced. Each of these schedules are as follows: Continuous Reinforcement, Fixed-interval Reinforcement, Variable-interval Reinforcement, Fixed-ratio Reinforcement, and Variable-ration Reinforcement.

Note: Interval = Time that passes between reinforcers and Ratio = number of responses learners give between reinforcers

Continuous - reinforcement after every response such as turning on TV. If TV breaks, the reinforcer disappears and extinction occurs. Can you think of a classroom example?

Fixed Interval - reinforcement after a set period of time such as a weekly quiz every Friday. What is the problem with this schedule in a classroom setting?

Variable Interval - reinforcement after varying lengths of time such as a pop-quiz. Why is this schedule so effective in a classroom setting?

Fixed Ratio - reinforcement after a set number of responses such as five good behavior stars equals a trip to the treasure chest. What other examples can you provide?

Variable Ratio - reinforcement after a varying number of responses such as addictive slot machines. Can you think of a classroom example?
