Sandra is toilet training her son and only rewards him some of the time when he uses the toilet. Sandra knows that using partial reinforcement creates behaviors that are more enduring than does continuous reinforcement, which is a result of a. the partial-reinforcement extinction effectb. the law of effectc. primary reinforcementd. the premack principle

The correct answer is option a. the partial-reinforcement extinction effect

Explanation:

The partial-reinforcement extinction effect (PREE) supports the idea that the process of learning under partial reinforcements is more robust as compared to learning under complete reinforcements. This was proved through several experiments that were carried out to analyse the durability of behavior under both circumstances.

In the above question, the decision of Sandra for rewarding her son only sometimes for going to the toilet is owed to partial reinforcement extinction effect.
