intermittent reinforcement is focused on providing motivation when the person needs it - based on some intrinsic understanding of the effort's stressors - instead of rewarding the effort itself. poorer background kids tend get rewards at random intervals not intermittent intervals. this is - as a contrasting example - what pushes them to "hustle" culture instead which does reward effort and in addition has intermittent reinforcement with bigger rewards from people who are entrenched in the culture and see a performer who needs motivation.
