Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermittent reinforcement involves reinforcing a behavior, but not every time the behavior occurs. This method does not reinforce each response, which makes it distinct from continuous reinforcement. Instead, it only reinforces some responses, making it more resistant to extinction than continuous reinforcement. It is not a form of response cost or shaping.
