Answer:

Variable ratio

Explanation:

First, there are two different types of reinforcement:

  • Positive
  • Negative

<u>The positive reinforcement</u> applies a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

<u>The negative reinforcement</u> removes a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

However, the positive reinforcement divides itself in different types:

  • Continuous
  • Partial

A <u>continuous reinforcemen</u>t schedule gives us a reinforcement every time we engaged in the desired conduct.

On the other side, the <u>partial reinforcement schedule</u> doesn't give us a reinforcement every time, but also divides itself in

  • Ratio
  • Interval

And these divide themselves in fixed or variable.

  • The fixed ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>fixed number </u>of desired responses.
  • The variable ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>changing number</u> of desired responses.
  • The fixed interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>constant amount of time.</u>
  • The variable interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>variable amount of time.</u>

<u>So, in other words, ratio has to do with number of responses while interval has to do with amount of time. </u>

<u />

In the example, <u>you don't know</u> how many lottery tickets you must buy to get a winning ticket. But technically, <u>if you keep buying, you will get a winner one </u><u>(after an unknown number of attempts)</u>.

Therefore, buying scratch-lottery tickets is a reinforced according to a variable ratio schedule.
