"Pop" quizzes are given at unpredictable times, which makes them an example of variable-interval schedule of reinforcement. This means that the reinforcement (in this case, the grade received) is given after an unpredictable amount of time has passed. This can help to ensure that students are regularly studying and not just cramming before predictable quizzes or tests.
