In a game of chance with multiple trials, momentary maximization theory predicts that the player will choose whichever alternative has a higher probability of reinforcement and then stay with that alternative for the remaining trials.

True or False?

False

Explanation:

The momentary maximization theory predicts that the individual will choose whichever alternative or option provides maximum value or highest value in a moment or instance. Here, it is suggested that the theory predicts that the player will choose whichever alternative has a higher probability of reinforcement (the first part) and then stay with that alternative for the remaining trials (the second part). The first part can be suggested as true however, the second part negates the theory as the theory suggests that the individual will choose whichever alternative or option provides maximum value or highest value in each of those trials and the decision would be made every time rather than only ones. Hence, the statement is false.
