Question

A variable interval (VI) reinforcement schedule would be in place since the pop quizzes occur irregularly but still within a certain time frame (the semester). This means that Kevin cannot predict exactly when the quizzes will happen, but he knows they will happen at some point. This will encourage him to consistently study his notes each day before class in order to be prepared for any pop quiz that may occur.
