c. Partial reinforcement

Operant conditioning is one of the works of B. Skinner, a behaviorist. A popular psychologist who was the proponent of reinforcement and punishment scheme. Moreover, gambling behavior is a partial reinforcement because when the behavior is reinforced there is a higher chance of doing that behavior again even though the odds are high in getting the reward obtained behavior. The gambler's effect can further explain the phenomenon.
