Answer to Question 1

With a continuous schedule of reinforcement, the target behavior is followed by a reward every single time. With a partial schedule of reinforcement, the target behavior is followed by a reward only periodically. Although behaviors are acquired more rapidly on a continuous schedule of reinforcement, they also extinguish more rapidly when reinforcement is no longer provided.
