limited hold

a feature that can be added to a schedule of reinforcement in which the opportunity for reinforcement is limited to a fixed period. For example, if a fixed-interval schedule in which reinforcement is given after 1 minute had a 2-second limited hold, then only responses occurring within 2 seconds of the end of the 1-minute interval would be reinforced.
