What is the difference between Fixed-ratio schedules and variable-ratio schedules?

Fixed ratio schedules are when the reinforcer is given after a fixed number of non reinforced responses. Variable ratio schedule is when the reinforcer is given after a variable number of non reinforced responses.

This part of operant conditioning has to do with the reinforcement of closer and closer approximations of a desired response. What is this part of operant conditioning?

Retrograde involves memory loss before the incident; Anterograde involves memory loss after the incident

When a child first learns about a dog, they see a furry four-legged animal and are told it is a dog. Later on, when they see a cow, they call it a dog because it has fur and four legs. What part of memory is this?

Research

100

Explain the difference between experimental and control groups.
