four schedules of partial reinforcement

[Spreadbury]

should we know (with some certainty) the speed and strength of a response when it is maintained through a particular schedule of partial reinforcement
e.g. fixed-ratio schedule provides faster learning
      variable-ratio schedule provides a stronger association?

yes spreadbury I believe that would be beneficial, it's not really that complicated and it might just happen to come up on the exam.

yes this is extremely vital, i recall last year having this question in a sac and getting it wrong. Also its likely to be on an exam.

If you have the Grivas book (which anyone who wants to do well should have as it is the best), there is a box with these partial reinforcements that outlines with a graph, know most of that box including graphs and you will be completely set.
