Question

a continuous
b partial
c primary
d secondary

Explanation:

Continuous reinforcement means reinforcing a behavior every single time it occurs. In this case, every time the son says "thank you" (the behavior), Jemma praises him and gives a hug (reinforcement). Partial reinforcement is when the behavior is reinforced only some of the time. Primary and secondary refer to types of reinforcers (e.g., food is a primary reinforcer, praise is a secondary reinforcer), not schedules.

Answer:

A. continuous
