Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
a problem-solving method in which multiple attempts are made to reach a solution. If the behavior “works” the behavior is repeated, if it doesn’t a new behavior is tried until success / solution is achieved.
A
Trial and Error learning
B
Avoidance Learning
C
Operant learning
D
Classical Learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Trial and error is a fundamental method of Problem solving. It is characterised by repeated, varied attempts which are continued until success, or until the agent stops trying. Until getting the right answer the problem is repeating through various steps. This type of problem solving is called trial and error method.

Detailed explanation-2: -Schoenfeld presents a theory of problem-solving in mathematics that involves four aspects: resources, heuristics, control, and beliefs. Although this framework was specifically developed for mathematical problem-solving, it seems more generally applicable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Problem Solving Method Definition Problem solving is the process of identifying an existing problem, determining the root cause or causes of the problem, deciding the best course of action in order to solve the problem, and then finally implementing it to solve the problem.

Detailed explanation-4: -A trial-and-error approach to problem-solving involves trying a number of potential solutions to a particular issue, then ruling out those that do not work. If you’re not sure whether to buy a shirt in blue or green, for instance, you may try on each before deciding which one to purchase.
