Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that learning is most rapid with continuous reinforcement, but intermittent reinforcement produces the greatest resistance to extinction. This means that while behavior may be learned quickly through continuous reinforcement, it is more likely to be extinguished quickly as well. On the other hand, intermittent reinforcement may take longer to establish the behavior, but it is more resilient to extinction in the long term.
