Positive Behavior Reinforcement Plan:
The type of reinforcement used is important, but the frequency and schedule used play a major role in the strength of a child's response. The schedule of reinforcement used can have an important effect not only on how quickly a good behavior is learned, but also on the strength of the response. If you are interested in using positive reinforcement to change behavior Your child, you will need to develop a plan for implementation, and you may want to create a positive reinforcement schedule to organize your efforts, and a positive reinforcement schedule is a plan that defines the way you will go about encouraging the behavior
Positive reinforcement schedules:
There are five different positive reinforcement schedules you can choose from:
Continuous schedule:
Positive behavior is reinforced every time (this schedule can be difficult to keep up because you will rarely be able to be there for each behavior).
fixed ratio:
Positive behavior is reinforced after a set number of events (eg, after every three times).
Fixed interval:
Positive behavior is reinforced after a set period of time (eg, after three weeks of good behaviour).
variable ratio:
Positive behavior is reinforced after a variable number of events (eg, after a positive behavior is performed on one event, then after three more times, then after two more events).
variable separator:
The positive behavior is reinforced after a variable period of time (eg, after 1 minute, then after 30 minutes, then after 10 minutes).
