Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When someone is learning a new skill, it is best to provide continuous reinforcement, meaning every time they do something correctly, they receive praise or some form of reward. This helps them learn and understand what they are doing correctly and reinforces their behavior. Intermittent reinforcement can be effective in maintaining behavior, but for learning a new skill, continuous is the best choice. Semi-repetitious and praiseworthy are not technical terms related to reinforcement, and pressure is not a positive or effective form of reinforcement.
