PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Continuous reinforcement requires that you do it each time, but partial reinforcement means you only reinforce part of the time. So, if you only give your dog a treat every third time he rolls over, you’re partially reinforcing that behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -We can better understand the concept of continuous reinforcement by using candy machines as an example. Candy machines are examples of continuous reinforcement because every time we put money in (behavior), we receive candy in return ( positive reinforcement ).

Detailed explanation-3: -Continuous reinforcement is also referred to as a Fixed Ratio 1 schedule of reinforcement. In contrast, intermittent schedules of reinforcement specify how only some of the responses will result in a reinforcer.

Detailed explanation-4: -A continuous reinforcement schedule (CRF) presents the reinforcer after every performance of the desired behavior. This schedule reinforces target behavior every single time it occurs, and is the quickest in teaching a new behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -This is called continuous reinforcement. Once your pet has reliably learned the behavior, you want to switch to intermittent reinforcement. At first, reward with a treat four out of every five times they do the behavior. Over time, reward three out of five times, and so on, until you’re only rewarding occasionally.
