Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A variable ratio reinforcement schedule is most effective for maintaining a behavior after it has been learned because it reinforces the behavior after an unpredictable number of responses, making the behavior more resistant to extinction. Continuous reinforcement (every time the behavior is performed) is typically used during the initial stages of learning.
