Continuous reinforcement

Continuous reinforcement is a method of learning where a desired behavior is rewarded every time it occurs. This consistent reinforcement helps individuals or animals quickly associate the behavior with the reward, making it easier to learn new actions. For example, giving a child praise each time they clean their room reinforces the habit. However, because the reward stops once the behavior is learned, maintaining the new behavior often requires ongoing reinforcement. This approach is particularly effective during initial learning phases and for establishing new behaviors efficiently.
