Donald has finally closed a sale that took him 2 weeks of hard work. He normally gets paid on a fixed interval schedule or a continuous reinforcement schedule, whichever comes first. He received this paycheck 2 weeks after his last one. Which schedule was used for his payment? What is the difference between continuous reinforcement and fixed interval schedule of intermittent reinforcement?
What will be an ideal response?
They were both used simultaneously. It was a coincidence that the sale took 2
weeks to complete and that he was paid every 2 weeks. Continuous reinforcement is a
reinforcement schedule in which behavior is rewarded every time it takes place. Donald
completed his task and was paid in 2 weeks. Fixed interval schedule is a reward
provided only after a certain period of time has elapsed. Donald was paid in 2 weeks
regardless of the sale. One reinforcement focuses on the behavior, the other on the
amount of time.
