Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermittent reinforcement means that the behavior is rewarded only some of the time, which actually makes the behavior more likely to continue than if it were rewarded every time. In this case, the occasional acknowledgement of the driver's favor (the reinforcement) is intermittent, which helps maintain the behavior of letting drivers in. Primary reinforcement, continuous reinforcement, and negative reinforcement do not fit the scenario as well.
