    1. The document describes different types of reinforcement schedules used in teaching, including continuous, intermittent, and ratio/interval schedules. 2. Continuous reinforcement provides rewards after every correct response but can lead to satiation or be time-consuming. Intermittent reinforcement rewards some, but not all, responses to maintain behaviors over time. 3. Ratio schedules deliver reinforcement after a specific number of responses, with fixed ratio following a set number and variable ratio following an average. Interval schedules reward after a period of time, with fixed interval on a set schedule and variable interval on average timing.
