Compute the reinforcement ratios of each possible solution that fulfills the conditions. Further ignore solutions with a reinforcement ratio less than zero. Compute the values of ρ x {\displaystyle \rho _{x}} + ρ y {\displaystyle \rho _{y}} + ρ z {\displaystyle \rho _{z}} and select the solution for which this value is smallest.
Premack gave the children two response alternatives, eating candy or playing a pinball machine, and determined which of these behaviors was more probable for each child. Some of the children preferred one activity, some the other. In the second phase of the experiment, the children were tested with one of two procedures.
If R 1 and R 2 are the rate of responses on two schedules that yield obtained (as distinct from programmed) rates of reinforcement Rf 1 and Rf 2, the strict matching law holds that the relative response rate R 1 / (R 1 + R 2) matches, that is, equals, the relative reinforcement rate Rf 1 / (Rf 1 + Rf 2).
These individual materials are known as constituent materials, and there are two main categories of it. One is the matrix and the other reinforcement. [48] A portion of each kind is needed at least. The reinforcement receives support from the matrix as the matrix surrounds the reinforcement and maintains its relative positions.
Variable-time schedules are similar to random ratio schedules in that there is a constant probability of reinforcement, but these reinforcers are set up in time rather than responses. The probability of no reinforcement occurring before some time t’ is an exponential function of that time with the time constant t being the average IRI of the ...

Fixed ratio (FR) – schedules deliver reinforcement after every nth response. [14]: 88 An FR 1 schedule is synonymous with a CRF schedule. Variable ratio schedule (VR) – reinforced on average every nth response, but not always on the nth response. [14]: 88 Fixed interval (FI) – reinforced after n amount of time.
