#10
What is the primary difference between continuous reinforcement and intermittent reinforcement?
Continuous reinforcement provides reinforcement only after certain intervals, while intermittent reinforcement provides reinforcement after every response.
Continuous reinforcement provides reinforcement after every response, while intermittent reinforcement provides reinforcement only after certain intervals.
There is no difference between continuous and intermittent reinforcement.
Continuous reinforcement is only used in animal training, while intermittent reinforcement is used in human learning.
