摘要
The effects of fixed-time (FT) and variable-time (VT) schedules on responding were evaluated with 2 adults with mental retardation. Multielement and reversal designs were used to compare the effects of FT and VT schedules in reducing responses previously maintained on variable-ratio reinforcement schedules. The schedules were equally effective in reducing the target behavior.
