Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermittent reinforcement, where rewards are given only some of the time, makes behaviors more resistant to extinction compared to continuous reinforcement, where every correct response is rewarded. This is because the unpredictability of the reward in intermittent reinforcement schedules makes it harder for the behavior to be extinguished.
