Jaxon Murray · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Fixed ratio and variable ratio schedules tend to result in a steady, consistent rate of responding once the behavior has been acquired. Variable interval schedules result in a low, steady rate of responding. However, fixed interval schedules result in a scalloped pattern of responses on a cumulative frequency graph, where there is a slight increase in responding just before the reinforcement is scheduled to occur and then a sharp increase after the reinforcement is delivered.
