Final answer:

Larry's mother is using partial reinforcement by applauding him intermittently when he gets on his knees.


Explanation:

Partial reinforcement is utilized by Larry's mother when she applauds him only some of the times he gets on his knees. This type of reinforcement schedule involves reinforcing a response intermittently, leading to slower initial learning but greater resistance to extinction compared to continuous reinforcement.
