A basic schedule of intermittent reinforcement in which a fixed amount of time must elapse before a single correct response produces reinforcement.

A motivating operation is added to a three-term contingency and the added component of motivation has an abative or evocative effect on the behavior (e.g., MO-SD-Bx-C).
Four-term contingency Read More
When the contingency for behavior is that it prevents and/or delays the onset of an aversive stimulus. The avoidant response occurs without the presence of a signal/SD and can occur
