What is variable ratio ?

A variable-ratio schedule in operant conditioning is a partial reinforcement schedule where a response is reinforced after an arbitrary number of responses. 1 A consistent, high rate of response is produced by this schedule. A reward based on a variable-ratio schedule is one that can be found in gambling and lottery games.

The individual will continue to engage in the target behavior in variable ratio schedules because he is unsure of how many responses he must give before receiving reinforcement. This leads to highly stable rates and increases the behavior's resistance to extinction.
