Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Partial reinforcement is the most resistant to extinction because it involves reinforcing behavior only some of the time, making the behavior less likely to become extinct when reinforcement is no longer given. Continuous reinforcement, fixed-interval schedules, and fixed-ratio schedules all involve consistent patterns of reinforcement, making the behavior more susceptible to extinction when reinforcement is no longer given.
