Intermittent reinforcement was systematically studied by behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner in the 1950s through pigeon experiments.
Skinner found that when rewards appear at unpredictable intervals (variable-ratio reinforcement), subjects exhibit the most persistent and hardest-to-extinguish behavior.
