In operant conditioning, this schedule of reinforcement provides rewards at unpredictable intervals based on an average time passed since the last reinforcement.
variable-interval
This occurs when old information disrupts the recall of newly learned information.

What is the misinformation effect?
This biological process strengthens synaptic connections between neurons with repeated activation, making it easier to retrieve memories.
