In a temporally defined system of reinforcement schedules, the fixed interval case is defined when reinforcement probability, P, is equal to unity for the first response in any cycle length, T; when P is less than 1.0, random interval schedules emerge wherein T/P specifies the expected interval between reinforcements. Key-pecking rates were found to be: (a) inversely related to T/P; (b) higher at T=1.0 second than at other T parameter values; (c) low and linear at several T and T/P values. The mean post-reinforcement pause, if initially small, increased, and if initially large, decreased, as T/P increased.
在一个时间定义的强化程序系统中,当强化概率P对于任何周期长度T内的首次反应等于1时,固定间隔情况被定义;当P小于1.0时,出现随机间隔程序,其中T/P指定强化之间的预期间隔。啄键率被发现为:(a) 与T/P成反比;(b) 在T = 1.0秒时高于其他T参数值;(c) 在几个T和T/P值时较低且呈线性。随着T/P增加,强化后平均停顿时间如果最初较小则增加,如果最初较大则减少。
