What schedule of reinforcement reinforces every occurrence of a particular behavior?

• A. Fixed Interval Schedule
• B. Continuous Reinforcement Schedule
• C. Variable Ratio Schedule
• D. Partial Reinforcement

Answer: (B)

Reinforcing every occurrence of a behavior is about delivering the reward each time the behavior happens. A continuous reinforcement schedule does exactly that: after every correct or desired behavior, reinforcement is given. This creates a direct, predictable link between action and reward, so the behavior is learned quickly and reliably.

Think about the others: a fixed interval schedule reinforces after a set amount of time, but only after a response, and not after every instance. A variable ratio schedule reinforces after a changing number of responses, so it won’t give reinforcement with every occurrence. Partial reinforcement is any schedule that isn’t continuous, meaning some occurrences aren’t reinforced. So none of these guarantee reinforcement after every occurrence like continuous reinforcement does.
