Discussion
Which of the following statements concerning reinforcement is correct ?
Answer: B
Learning is fastest, that is acquisition is quickest, with continuous reinforcement in which every response is rewarded. But partial (intermittent) reinforcement makes the learned response more resistant to extinction, because the learner is used to going without a reward for some responses, the partial reinforcement effect. The statement that partial reinforcement gives the fastest learning, or continuous gives the greatest resistance, reverses this. The answer is that learning is most rapid with continuous reinforcement but partial reinforcement gives the greatest resistance to extinction.
