Reinforcement Schedule in Dog Training

Medium Unit 4: Learning Operant Conditioning

Alex is training his dog, Max, to sit on command. He uses a treat every time Max sits when asked. However, Alex occasionally forgets to give Max a treat when he sits, while sometimes he rewards him with extra treats for sitting quickly. This scenario illustrates principles of operant conditioning.

Based on this example, which type of reinforcement schedule is Alex using with Max?
