Variable time
A time-based schedule of noncontingent reinforcement delivery. It sets an average amount of time between the delivery of noncontingent reinforcers.
Task List Reference: G-14
Use reinforcement procedures to weaken behavior (e.g., DRA, FCT, DRO, DRL, NCR).
The Ultimate Reinforcement Schedules Showdown ➠ FT/VT vs. FI/VI
PTB co-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.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections B-5: Define and provide examples of schedules of reinforcement; and G-14: Use reinforcement procedures to weaken behavior (e.g., DRA, FCT, DRO, DRL, NCR).
