Variable reinforcement schedules are used to arrange the availability of reinforcement following varying response ratios or intervals of time. Random reinforcement schedules are subtypes of variable reinforcement schedules that can be used to arrange the availability of reinforcement at a constant probability across number of responses or time. Generating schedule values for variable and random reinforcement schedules can be difficult. The present article describes the steps necessary to write macros in Microsoft Excel that will generate variable-ratio, variable-interval, variable-time, random-ratio, random-interval, and random-time reinforcement schedule values.
可变强化程序表用于根据不同的反应比率或时间间隔来安排强化物的可得性。随机强化程序表是可变强化程序表的子类型，可用于在一系列反应或时间内以恒定概率安排强化物的可得性。生成可变和随机强化程序表的程序值可能很困难。本文介绍了在Microsoft Excel中编写宏的必要步骤，这些宏将生成可变比率、可变间隔、可变时间、随机比率、随机间隔和随机时间强化程序表的值。
