Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes a partial reinforcement schedule, where the behavior (door-holding) is reinforced only some of the time. It is not a continuous schedule, where the behavior is reinforced every time, and it is not a fixed or periodic schedule, which would involve reinforcement based on a specific number of behaviors or specific time interval, respectively.
