DELAYED REINFORNCEMENT
a) A reinforcement schedule is the arrangement of the delivery of reinforcement
during conditioning trials.
b) Each schedule of reinforcement influences the course of conditioning in its own
way and thus conditioned responses occur with differential characteristics.
c) The organism being subjected to operant conditioning may be given
reinforcement in every acquisition trial or in some trials it is given and in others
it is omitted. Thus, the reinforcement may be continuous or intermittent.
