If a person is paid at the end of each workday, the reinforcement schedule would be an example of a "continuous reinforcement schedule." In continuous reinforcement, a behavior (in this case, work) is reinforced every time it occurs. The reward or reinforcement (the payment) is given consistently and immediately after each instance of the desired behavior.
Continuous reinforcement is often used when establishing or shaping a new behavior because it provides clear and immediate feedback.
