Definitions:

Partial Reinforcement

A conditioning strategy wherein a reward is not administered every time the desired behavior is performed, making a behavior more resistant to extinction.

Continuous Reinforcement

A method of learning that entails giving a reward after every desired behavior.

Ratio Schedule

A schedule of reinforcement where a response is reinforced only after a specified number of responses have occurred.

Partial Reinforcement Effect

The tendency for a response that is reinforced after some, but not all, correct responses to be very resistant to extinction.
