Steve's shooting is being reinforced on a variable-ratio schedule because he never knows for sure which shots will result in a basket, but he knows that the more shots he takes, the more baskets he will make. This is a form of reinforcement where the number of responses required for a reinforcement varies, making it unpredictable and more effective in maintaining behavior.
