Dimensions of Partial Reinforcement Schedules
Persistence of Learned Behavior
A dog owner trains their dog to sit. For the first month, the owner gives the dog a treat every single time it sits on command. For the second month, the owner only gives the dog a treat sometimes when it sits on command. At the start of the third month, the owner stops giving treats entirely. Based on these two different training periods, after which month would the dog likely continue to sit on command for a longer period despite the absence of treats?
