When the New York Yankees win 13 out of 13 games, on what kind of reinforcement schedule do they have their fans?
Answer: Continuous schedule
Explanation:
A continuous schedule of reinforcement reinforces every correct or appropriate target behaviour. This is the case of the first example, as every single time the New York Yankees play, they win. It is very likely that the fans will start to believe that the Yankees win every time they play. On the other hand, Joey is on an intermittent schedule. Specifically, he follows a fixed-ratio schedule, as he receives a reward when he gets to the third correct answer. In other words, a reinforcer is presented contingent on a specific number of correct responses.
