Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Partial reinforcement involves only reinforcing a response some of the time, rather than every time. This type of reinforcement tends to be more resistant to extinction, meaning that the behavior is more likely to continue even when reinforcement is no longer provided. This is in contrast to continuous reinforcement, which involves reinforcing every desired response, and may result in faster learning but also faster extinction if reinforcement is discontinued. Primary and semi- reinforcement are not recognized terms in psychology.
