A fixed ratio schedule is one that reinforces a behavior after a set number of responses. A continuous reinforcement schedule is one that reinforces every occurrence of a behavior. An intermittent reinforcement schedule reinforces a behavior only occasionally. Since Jack only gets paid after washing 20 trucks, this is a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement.
