"The four basic schedules of reinforcement are fixed-ratio schedule, fixed-interval schedule, variable-ratio schedule, and variable-interval schedule. I prefer using a fixed-ratio schedule when working with my patients, as it produces a steady and high response rate with only a brief pause after delivering the reinforcer. Last week I rewarded a patient with a sticker every three times they tied their shoes correctly."

"From my understanding, the four basic schedules of reinforcement are fixed-ratio schedule, fixed-interval schedule, variable-ratio schedule, and variable-interval schedule. I plan to try using all four methods with my patients. I am sure that once I become more experienced, I will learn which methods work best for which patients."

"Great question! The four basic schedules of reinforcement are fixed-ratio schedule, fixed-interval schedule, variable-ratio schedule, and variable-interval schedule. I have used all four methods with various patients throughout my career; however, I tend to use the fixed-ratio schedule most often as that seems to work the best for most patients."
