CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In operant conditioning, is necessary to create the association between the stimulus and the repetition of a voluntary response. Correct. Reinforcement causes the association between the stimulus and the voluntary response to be learned.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simply said, operant conditioning describes how we repeat behaviors because they pay off for us. It is based on a principle authored by a psychologist named Thorndike (1874‐1949) called the law of effect. The law of effect suggest that we will repeat an action if it is followed by a good effect.

Detailed explanation-3: -Operant conditioning, also called instrumental conditioning, is a learning process where behaviors are modified through the association of stimuli with reinforcement or punishment.

Detailed explanation-4: -In operant behavior, stimuli can be appetitive or aversive. Appetitive stimuli are the ones that you voluntarily approach while aversive stimuli are those you try to avoid or escape. Responses to such stimuli can either be positive or negative reinforcement. In this case positive and negative do not mean good or bad.

Detailed explanation-5: -Classical conditioning refers to learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behaviour. After the association is learned, the previously neutral stimulus is sufficient to produce the behaviour.
