Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermittent reinforcement is a schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is not given every time the desired behavior is performed. This type of reinforcement is often used to maintain behavior because it is more resistant to extinction than continuous reinforcement. In the case of letting drivers into your lane, the reinforcer is the acknowledgment of the favor.
