A continuous schedule provides reinforcement for every occurrence of the desired behavior, which establishes the behavior quickly but is also not resistant to extinction. The other options (fixed ratio, interval, and variable ratio) all involve some level of variability in the reinforcement schedule and are more resistant to extinction.
