Intermittent Reinforcement

A conditioning schedule in which a reward or punishment (reinforcement) is not given every time the desired response is performed, making the response more resistant to extinction.

Continuous Reinforcement

A schedule of reinforcement in which a desirable behavior is rewarded every time it occurs, leading to rapid learning.

Extinction Contrast Effect
