Define a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement and summarize the general effect of an FR schedule on behavior
What will be an ideal response?
Fixed ratio schedules of reinforcement reward the individual after a specific number of appropriate responses. FR schedules tend to produce high response rates, since the faster one responds, the sooner the next reinforcer is delivered. There is, however, a brief pause in the behavior immediately after each reinforcer is given because the respondent knows that it will be a while before he is rewarded again.
