Question

question 27
\in _ reinforcement, the person or animal is not reinforced every time a desired behavior is performed\
a continuous
b partial
c primary
d secondary

Explanation:

• Continuous reinforcement: Reinforces the desired behavior every single time it occurs. So option A is incorrect.
• Partial reinforcement: Does not reinforce the desired behavior every time it is performed. This matches the description in the question.
• Primary reinforcement: Involves reinforcing stimuli that satisfy basic biological needs (e.g., food for a hungry organism). It is not related to the frequency of reinforcement described. So option C is incorrect.
• Secondary reinforcement: Stimuli that have become reinforcing through association with a primary reinforcer. It is also not related to the frequency of reinforcement. So option D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. partial
