\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 means reinforcing the behavior every time it occurs. So option A is incorrect.
• Partial reinforcement (also known as intermittent reinforcement) is when the person or animal is not reinforced every time the desired behavior is performed.
• Primary reinforcement refers to reinforcers that satisfy basic biological needs (e.g., food for a hungry organism). It is not related to the frequency of reinforcement. So option C is incorrect.
• Secondary reinforcement is a stimulus that has become reinforcing after being associated with a primary reinforcer. It is not about the frequency of reinforcement. So option D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. partial
