Partial reinforcement schedules, unlike continuous reinforcement schedules, do not reward every instance of a desired behavior. This can lead to longer periods where no rewards are given, making it more challenging for the subject to distinguish between when behaviors will be reinforced and when they are in a state of extinction.
