Answer:

Partial reinforcement

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe it is partial reinforcement because the 10 dollars is being sometimes reinforced and sometimes not. For example, she is not getting 10 dollars for every A but, is getting 10 dollars for every 6 A's. I hope this helped ;)

Answer:

Partial Reinforcement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Partial Reinforcement rewards the individual a certain number of times or specific intervals, unlike continuous reinforcement which reinforces every time a behavior is displayed.

In this case Sally is given 10 dollars, if she accumulates 'six' A's and not for every A she gets.
