Abstract

"On any given day, students' performance on educational tasks can vary, even with consistent reinforcement schedules. Previous research has shown that responding is determined by the relative frequency of reinforcement across behavior that occurs within a context (Herrnstein, 1961), and so this variability is difficult to explain when reinforcement schedules are held constant."
