The partial reinforcement effect refers to the fact that a response that is reinforced after some, but not all, correct responses __________

A) will be more resistant to extinction than a response that receives continuous reinforcement (a reinforcer for each and every correct response) .
B) will be less resistant to extinction than a response that receives continuous reinforcement (a reinforcer for each and every correct response) .
C) will be more variable in its resistance to extinction than a response that receives continuous reinforcement (a reinforcer for each and every correct response) .
D) will be totally resistant to extinction unlike a response that receives continuous reinforcement (reinforcer
For each and every correct response) .

Partial Reinforcement Effect

The typical outcome of a variable ratio of reinforcement in which a slow rate of initial learning is coupled with resistance to extinction.

Continuous Reinforcement

A learning process in which a behavior is rewarded every time it is exhibited, leading to rapid learning.

Extinction Resistance

The phenomenon where a learned behavior persists even after it is no longer reinforced, indicating a resistance to extinction.
