In operant conditioning, ________ reinforcement lead(s)  to ________.A)  continuous; behaviors that will persist longer than behavior learned through partial or intermittent reinforcementB)  both continuous reinforcement and partial or intermittent; behaviors that persist for equally long periods of timeC)  neither partial nor continuous reinforcement; behaviors that will persist for long periods of timeD)  partial or intermittent reinforcement; behaviors that will persist longer than behavior learned through continuous reinforcement

Mohammad Farooq tahir · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Partial or intermittent reinforcement has been shown to lead to behaviors that persist longer than behavior learned through continuous reinforcement. This is because the individual does not know exactly when the reinforcement will come, so they continue to engage in the behavior in hopes of a reward.
