Understand the concept of reinforcement in psychology, which is a process that increases the likelihood of a behavior by providing a consequence that is rewarding.
Differentiate between continuous and partial reinforcement. Continuous reinforcement occurs when a behavior is reinforced every time it occurs, while partial reinforcement occurs only some of the time.
Learn about the concept of extinction in psychology, which refers to the gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when reinforcement is no longer provided.
Recognize that behaviors reinforced on a partial schedule are more resistant to extinction than those reinforced continuously. This is because the unpredictability of reinforcement in partial schedules makes the behavior more persistent.
Apply this understanding to the problem: Identify that partial reinforcement is more resistant to extinction than continuous reinforcement, which aligns with the correct answer provided.
