Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The partial reinforcement effect is when a behavior is only reinforced sometimes, making it more resistant to extinction. This means that even if the reinforcement stops, the behavior may still be exhibited because the individual has learned that sometimes the behavior is rewarded. The other options listed are not relevant to the process of extinction.
