The effect of partial reinforcement on extinction was investigated in a free operant procedure, using similar attitude statements, dissimilar attitude statements, neutral statements of fact, and blank cards as reinforcers. A group partially rein forced with similar statements was more resistant to extinction than a group continuously reinforced. This effect was also found with dissimilar statements. No partial reinforcement effect was found with neutral statements or blank cards.
