16J How Reward Schedules Impact Consumers’ Behavioral Acquisition and Retention
This research explores how reward schedules impact consumers’ behavioral learning process. We propose that whereas a fixed (vs. variable) reward schedule better facilitates the acquisition of a new behavior, a variable (vs. fixed) reward schedule does better in retaining the acquired behavior. Data from lab and field supported our hypotheses.
