The four schedules of partial reinforcement—fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, and variable interval—determine how often a behavior is reinforced. In a fixed ratio schedule, reinforcement occurs after a set number of responses, while in a variable ratio schedule, reinforcement is provided after a random number of responses, leading to high and steady rates of behavior. Fixed interval schedules reinforce behavior after a fixed amount of time has passed, resulting in a pause after reinforcement. In contrast, variable interval schedules reinforce behavior after varying time intervals, promoting consistent behavior over time due to unpredictability.
Conduct a Hi-Pot test on the full length of cable (ensure safety and qualified operator) for a predetermined time at a predetermined voltage. Verify ground straps are properly earthed before test. Test results for a good stress cone installation will be about 35-50 Micro-amps.
Active components can deliver a finite amount of power for some finite amount of time period where passive components can not deliver finite amount of power for some finite amount of time.

Reinforcement is given on an intermittent reinforcement schedule at varying and unpredictable intervals, such as after a specific number of responses (ratio schedule) or after a specific amount of time has passed (interval schedule). This type of reinforcement schedule can be more effective in maintaining behavior compared to continuous reinforcement.
Fixed-ratio schedule - reinforcement depends on a specific number of correct responses before reinforcement can be obtained. Like rewarding every fourth response. Variable-ratio schedule - reinforcement does not required a fixed or set number of responses before reinforcement can be obtained. Like slot machines in the casinos. Fixed-interval schedule - reinforcement in which a specific amount of time must elapse before a response will elicit reinforcement. Like studying feverishly the day before the test. Variable-interval schedule - reinforcement in which changing amounts of time must elapse before a response will abtain reinforcement.
specific amount of time has elapsed. This means that reinforcement is delivered after a fixed period of time, regardless of the subject's behavior.
A fixed interval schedule of reinforcement is a reinforcement schedule in which the reinforcer is delivered for the first response that occurs after a fixed amount of time following the last reinforcer or the beginning of the trial.
The reinforcement intervals refers to the fixed interval schedule whereby the first response is rewarded after a specific duration of time has elapsed.
Variable-interval schedule (VI) is a reinforcement schedule in which reinforcement is provided for the first response that occurs after a variable amount of time from the last reinforcer or the start of the trial interval.
