Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A partial schedule of reinforcement is when the desired behavior is only reinforced sometimes, and not every time it occurs. In Julie's case, she is only given money after cutting the lawn sometimes, rather than every time she cuts the lawn. This makes it a partial schedule of reinforcement.
