A reinforcement schedule is one in which the desired behavior is reinforced after an unpredictable amount of time has elapsed. Group of answer choices variable-interval variable-ratio fixed-interval fixed-ratio continuous

The correct answer is variable-interval

In operant conditioning, a variable interval scheme is a reinforcement scheme, where a response is rewarded after an undetermined amount of time has passed. This scheme produces a slow and steady pace of response.

Operant conditioning can strengthen or weaken behaviors through the use of reinforcement and punishment. This learning process involves forming an association with the behavior and the consequences of that action.
