The Ultimate Reinforcement Schedules Showdown ➠ FT/VT vs. FI/VI
PTB founder Dana Meller delves into the differences and nuances between fixed-time (FT) and variable-time (VT) schedules, as well as fixed-interval (FI) and variable-interval (VI) schedules.

Three-term contingency:
Known as the ABCs of behavior and involves an occasion for a behavior (A/SD), the behavior itself (B), and the consequence(C) that follows that behavior. These components (i.e., the antecedent,

Transitive MO (CMO-T)

Unconditioned punisher
A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior immediately preceding it regardless of the organism’s learning history with that stimulus.
Unconditioned reinforcer
A stimulus change that can increase the future frequency of behavior without any learning history or prior pairing with any other form of reinforcement.
Unconditioned response (UR)
An unlearned, automatic response (reflex) that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
A stimulus that elicits an automatic response without any prior learning
Unplanned model
These are the naturally occurring models that exist in a person’s daily life and community settings that evoke imitative behaviors.
Value-altering effect
An effect of motivating operations that causes an in-the-moment increase or decrease in the current reinforcing effectiveness of a specific stimulus.
