Question

john wants to train his daughter to excuse herself before she leaves the table. although he does not know how often he will reward her for excusing herself, he does know that he will not reward her every time she excuses herself. which reinforcement schedule is john planning to use?

continuous

partial

primary

secondary

Explanation:

Continuous reinforcement rewards every instance of a behavior. Since John won't reward every time, it's not continuous. Primary and secondary refer to types of reinforcers, not schedules. Partial reinforcement schedules reward behavior only some of the time, which is what John is doing.

Answer:

B. partial
