In behavioral psychology, schedule refers to how often reinforcement is provided, while interval refers to the time between the behavior and the reinforcement for the behavior. In a variable-interval schedule of
Reinforcement (PsychologyReinforcement ScheduleReaction TimeTime FactorsThree pigeons' pecks were reinforced on 1- and 2-min variable-interval schedules, and frequency distributions of their interresponse times (IRTs) were recorded. The conditional probability that a response would fall into any IRT ...
That is, the next step is founded in large part on psychology. Enter variable-ratio reinforcement. Variable-ratio reinforcement is generally defined as delivering reinforcement after a target behavior is exhibited a random number of times. Let’s take a slot machine, for example. A gambler sits...

Four rats and four pigeons responded for food delivered by variable interval schedules that provided programmed rates of reinforcement ranging from 15 to 480 reinforcers per hour. Rate of responding increased, decreased, or increased and then decreased within sessions. The within-session pattern of re...

While calculating the integral of f(x) in the interval of [a,b], which is \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx, we may get a problem of parsing the integral curve. In other words, it is impossible to integral f(x) directly. Therefore, we need to sample within the interval [a,b]: \left\{...
