PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -1 In partial (or intermittent) reinforcement, the response is reinforced only part of the time. Learned behaviors are acquired more slowly with partial reinforcement, but the response is more resistant to extinction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Among the reinforcement schedules, variable ratio is the most productive and the most resistant to extinction.

Detailed explanation-3: -A partial or intermittent reinforcement schedule rewards desired behaviors occasionally, but not every single time. Behavior intermittently reinforced by a partial schedule is usually stronger. It is more resistant to extinction (more on this later).

Detailed explanation-4: -Partial (Intermittent) Reinforcement Schedules Unlike continuous schedules, partial schedules only reinforce the desired behavior occasionally rather than all the time. This leads to slower learning since it is initially more difficult to make the association between behavior and reinforcement.

Detailed explanation-5: -Among the reinforcement schedules, variable ratio is the most productive and the most resistant to extinction.
