Detailed explanation-1: -Among the reinforcement schedules, variable ratio is the most productive and the most resistant to extinction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Among the different types of reinforcement schedules, the variable-ratio schedule (VR) is the most resistant to extinction whereas the continuous schedule is the least7.
Detailed explanation-3: -why is continuous reinforcement less resistance than partial reinforcement? Continuous reinforcement makes it easier to achieve desirable behavior but is also more susceptible to extinction if the reinforcement is no longer provided.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some things that can cause resistance to extinction include: thinner reinforcement schedules, intermittent schedules of reinforcement, and variable schedules of reinforcement. All these things cause behavior to persist.
