Answer:

Fixed-interval

Explanation:

A fixed-interval schedule in operant conditioning refers to a schedule of reinforcement where the person is only rewarded after a specified amount of time has passed. In operant conditioning, certain behaviours are rewarded in order to encourage the subject to repeat them. In a fixed-interval schedule, we tend to observe a high amount of responding near the end of the interval but slower responding immediately after it.
