This module demonstrates basic schedules of reinforcement as employed in a variety of operant and discrimination procedures involving animals and humans. This module implements the classic schedules of reinforcement and allows the students to graphically monitor their behavior in response to these different schedules. You can choose from:

Variable Interval

Variable Ratio

Fixed Interval

Fixed Ratio

and several more complex schedules

Besides demonstrating each of possible contingencies between responding and reinforcement, the module also provides real time graphic displays for both response rate and cumulative responses. This combination of features allows students to experience directly the relations between the look (graphic output) and feel (their responding to the key) of behavior under these schedules.
