Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : In fixed interval schedule of reinforcement behaviour is reinforced in a fixed time period.

Reason (R) : When students get feedback intermittently their level of performance increases

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

1. ABoth (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
2. BBoth (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is Not the correct explanation of (A)
3. C(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
4. D(A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is Not the correct explanation of (A)

Explanation

Fixed-interval schedules reinforce the first response after a fixed time; intermittent feedback can raise performance, but that does not explain what a fixed-interval schedule is.
