Intermittent reinforcement schedules are known to maintain behavior more effectively and for longer periods than continuous reinforcement once the behavior is established. By providing rewards (like candy) on a variable schedule, rather than every time the desired behavior (attending class) occurs, Mr. Nolan can maintain students' attention without them expecting a reward every time. This approach is more sustainable and prevents the behavior from stopping as soon as the reward is no longer offered.
