"i just don't understand! i want my daughter to stop leaving her shoes in the hall when she gets home. every day she leaves her shoes in the hall, i take away dessert after dinner. it's been three weeks and she's not even starting to put her shoes away." according to operant conditioning, what does this show?

VARIABLE INTERVAL SCHEDULE OF REINFORCEMENT

Probably, the situation implies the answer stated above which is the "Variable Interval Schedule of Reinforcement". In operant conditioning, a variable-interval schedule is a schedule of reinforcement where a response is rewarded after an unpredictable amount of time has passed. This schedule produces a slow, steady rate of response.

As you probably recall, operant conditioning can either strengthen or weaken behaviors through the use of reinforcement and punishment.

According to operant conditioning, this shows that in this type of leaning, the behaviour is controlled by learning.Under this, there is positive reinforcement where an award is given after a good behaviour and this guarantees that the good behaviour will continue because an award is being given.
