Answer to Question 1

Full-session DRL involves delivering reinforcement at the end of an instructional session if the target behavior was below a predetermined criterion for the entire session. For example, if the target behavior is pencil sharpening, then the learner would need to sharpen his pencil only 2 times (if that is the criterion) throughout the entire class period. In interval DRL, the instructional session is divided into a series of smaller intervals, and the learner receives reinforcement if his/her behavior does not exceed the predetermined criterion for each interval. For example, the teacher could divide a class period into two intervals, and the learner could earn reinforcement for each interval during which he/she sharpened his/her pencil fewer than 2 times

Answer to Question 2

A DRO interval can be increased by a constant duration of time (say 15 seconds each time), proportionately (say by 10 each time), or based on the learner's performance
