CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Continuous reinforcement requires the subject to receive positive rewards for behavior every time the behavior is exhibited. Example: Every time a child remembers to raise their hand in class, the teacher gives them a sticker. Partial reinforcement is when the subject receives rewards for behavior some of the time.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a variable ratio reinforcement schedule, the number of responses needed for a reward varies. This is the most powerful partial reinforcement schedule. An example of the variable ratio reinforcement schedule is gambling.

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of a fixed-ratio schedule would be delivering a food pellet to a rat after it presses a bar five times.

Detailed explanation-4: -Continuous reinforcement is the repeated reinforcement of a behavior every time it happens. This can involve positive (adding a stimulus) or negative (removing a stimulus) reinforcement, with the goal of encouraging certain actions. Continuous reinforcement is one of two foundational types of reinforcement schedules.
