A fixed-ratio (FR) schedule of reinforcement is a type of operant conditioning schedule where a response is reinforced only after a specified number of responses have been made. This means that reinforcement is delivered after a constant, or "fixed," number of correct responses. The "ratio" refers to the number of responses required to receive a reward or reinforcement.
For example, in an FR-5 schedule, reinforcement is given after every fifth correct response. This could be in the form of food for an animal subject after it presses a lever five times, or a worker receiving a bonus after selling a certain number of products.
Fixed-ratio schedules tend to produce a high rate of responding because the reinforcement is directly contingent on the number of responses. However, this high rate of responding is often followed by a brief pause after reinforcement (known as a post-reinforcement pause), especially with higher ratio requirements. The subject will typically pause after receiving the reinforcement and then resume responding at a high rate until the next reinforcement is delivered.
Fixed-ratio schedules are commonly used in various settings, including behavior modification programs, classrooms, and workplaces, to encourage consistent and productive behavior.

A) After a response is reinforced, no responding occurs for a period of time, then responding occurs at a high, steady rate until the next reinforcer is delivered. (This is the responding, not a schedule.)
B) The way reinforcement occurs because of the number of responses, time since reinforcement, time between responses, and stimulus conditions.
C) These schedules produce a high rate of responding, with almost no post reinforcement pausing. (This is the responding, not a schedule.)
D) A reinforcer is contingent on the last of a fixed number of responses.
E) Reinforcement schedule in which a reinforcer follows the response only once in a while.
F) A reinforcer is contingent on the last of a variable number of responses.
G) A reinforcer follows each response.
