Fixed interval

A schedule in which a person is reinforced for the first response after a fixed period of time has passed since the previous reinforcement. This schedule usually causes people to pause after a reinforcer and then to gradually increase their response rate until they are working at a high rate at the moment they receive the next reinforcer.
