Persistent learning is best achieved through

A) partial, delayed reinforcement.
B) continuous, immediate reinforcement.
C) partial, immediate reinforcement.
D) continuous, delayed reinforcement.
E) punishment.

Delayed Reinforcement

A scenario in which a reward does not immediately follow the desired action, which can affect the strength and persistence of learning.

Partial Reinforcement

A conditioning method where a response is only occasionally rewarded, leading to more resilience in the learned behavior.

Continuous Reinforcement

A learning principle where every instance of a desired behavior is reinforced, leading to rapid acquisition of the behavior.
