For each of the four basic reinforcement schedules, describe the rule for reinforcement, the typical response pattern, and the rate of extinction. From your own experience, describe a situation that resembles one of the four simple reinforcement schedules. How is the reinforcement schedule in your example similar to the laboratory example? Are there any important differences between the two? Is the behavior pattern in real life similar to behavior in the laboratory?
