o variable ratio

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, a fixed - ratio schedule of reinforcement is when a response is reinforced after a specific number of responses. Here, getting paid (reinforcement) after every 5 pairs of shoes (a fixed number of responses) fits this definition. A variable - interval schedule is based on an average time interval. A variable - ratio schedule is based on an average number of responses. A fixed - interval schedule is based on a set time interval.

Answer:

fixed ratio
