51. Variable Rewards are powerful
- Variable ratio: reinforcement based
on a number of actions taken. The
number varies, however it will
average to a certain ratio
- Studies show that variable ratios result in
the most actions taken/maximum behavior
repitition compared to other strategies
- Casino's use this model with slot machines. Reward is not
based on time, but on the number of times you play. It's
not on a fixed schedule, but a random, variable one. This
strategie results in you taking more actions (playing more),
which in the end makes the casino's the most money.
