<reasoning>

Analyze the behavior and consequence

Using the Schedules of Reinforcement knowledge point

The target behavior is Jemma's son saying "thank you." The consequence is Jemma praising him and giving him a hug, which acts as a positive reinforcer to increase the frequency of the behavior.

Determine the frequency of reinforcement

Using the Schedules of Reinforcement knowledge point

The prompt states that Jemma reinforces the behavior "every time" her son says thank you. When a desired behavior is reinforced every single time it occurs, this is defined as a continuous reinforcement schedule.
