Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A variable ratio schedule occurs when the number of responses required for reinforcement is unknown or unpredictable. An intermittent reinforcement schedule reinforces a behavior only occasionally. A fixed ratio schedule is one that reinforces a behavior after a set number of responses. Since Devin does not know how many girls he must ask out before receiving a desired response, this is a variable ratio schedule.
