Answer:

This question is incomplete. Here are the missing options:

  • a. Fixed-ratio
  • b. Fixed-interval
  • c. Variable-interval
  • d. Variable-ratio

The answer is a. Fixed-ratio.

Explanation:

A fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement involves rewarding the person for a specific number of completed behaviours. For example, if a teacher assigns one extra point for every five class participations, then he is using a fixed-ratio schedule.

Fixed-ratio schedules have been proven to be effective in areas such as school and the workplace, and as long as the action-reward ratio is consistent.
