Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of reinforcement in psychology, which is a process that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.

Differentiate between continuous reinforcement, where a behavior is reinforced every time it occurs, and partial reinforcement, where a behavior is reinforced only some of the time.

Learn about the partial reinforcement effect, which suggests that behaviors that are reinforced intermittently are more resistant to extinction than those that are continuously reinforced.

Consider the role of punishment, which is intended to decrease the likelihood of a behavior, and how it differs from reinforcement.

Review the concept of a conditioned response, which is a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus, and how it relates to reinforcement and extinction.
