A.fixed-interval

B. variable-ratio

C. fixed-ratio

D. variable-interval

Answer 1

Answer:

In operant conditioning, this kind of partial reinforcement is based on a fixed ratio.

Explanation:

• The ratio between the reward and the action done correctly is clearly mentioned in the narration of the example as the worker is given a reward once he does his job correctly 6 times.
• No mention of the requirement of time taken for doing the work or even the condition of consecutively correct results has been made which defies the possibilities of other options being correct.
