Tap to flip Answer Continuous reinforcement Question What schedule rewards a behavior only some of the time? Tap to flip Answer Partial reinforcement Question Which reinforcement schedule rewards a behavior after a set amount of time? Tap to flip Answer Fixed interval schedule Question Which reinforcement schedule requires a set number of responses before a behavior is rewarded? Tap to flip Answer Fixed ratio schedule Question Which reinforcement schedule rewards a behavior after unpredictable amounts of time have passed? Tap to flip Answer Variable interval schedule Question Which reinforcement schedule varies the number of responses needed before a behavior is rewarded? Tap to flip Answer Variable ratio schedule Question What is it called when an observer sees a model rewarded and becomes more likely to imitate the model's behavior?
