Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The supervisor is inspecting the facilities on a fixed time schedule (9:00 a.m. every morning), which is characteristic of the fixed-interval schedule of reinforcement. This means that reinforcement (in this case, completing the inspection) is only delivered after a set amount of time has elapsed, regardless of the number of facilities inspected or the quality of the inspections.
