Example:
Every time your child crayons on the wall, you say "oh, how pretty".
The idea behind continuous reinforcement is that there is always a payoff directly after the behavior. Your child, if praised for crayoning the wall, will do it again.
If, when your child crayoned on the wall, you said, "oh no dear, walls are not for crayoning. You did not know, and I love you -- you are ok, but crayoning on the wall is not o.k. , and now you know the rule. We have to clean it off now. I'll help you, and show you how. But if you do it again, after I have told you not to, then I will have to take away the crayons, so that you can't do it. I'd rather you remember not to do it by yourself, because I want you to be able to have and enjoy your crayons, but the wall cannot be crayoned on." (obviously, if you've got a pre-verbal kid, or one too young to know, remember, and appreciate a bit of reason, then you just do not praise, and do not freak out, just take the crayons away, clean the wall, and make sure the child does not have crayons when unsupervised until they are older and can understand explanations and reason a bit.
Another Example:
Every time you eat ice cream, it tastes delicious. You get an immediate reward. Yummy. You are likely to eat ice cream again.
Behaviors are reinforced when they are rewarded.
Continuous reinforcement makes a behavior pretty likely to be repeated frequently, and become a habit.

partial reinforcement i reinforcing a response part of the time.
Once continuous reinforcement is discontinued the reinforced behavior will?
extinguish gradually.
Which reinforcement schedule produces the fastest extinction rate?
continuous reinforcement - giving a reward every time a desired action is presented
What are some schedules of reinforcement?
There are two kinds of reinforcement schedules. The first is continuous reinforcement where desired behavior is reinforced every time. The second schedule is partial reinforcement where a response is reinforced part of the time. Within partial reinforcement, there are four schedules which include fixed-ratio, variable-ratio, and fixed-interval and variable- interval.
What is a example of post reinforcement pause?
Post-reinforcement pause is a pause in responding that typically occurs after the delivery of the reinforcer on fixed-ratio and fixed-interval schedules of reinforcement.

What is the effect of reinforcement content on matrix of composite materials and give suitable example?
The effect of reinforcement content on matrix of composite materials is to strengthen the given structure. Steel is an example of the reinforcing material.
