Continuous Reinforcement

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

Extinction Contrast Effect

The increased difference in the intensity or frequency of a response observed when a previously reinforced behavior is no longer reinforced, in the presence of a contrasting condition that continues to be reinforced.
