CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The participant in classical conditioning acts involuntarily. In operant conditioning the behavior is determined by the anticipation of what precedes it. Reinforcement is anything that strengthens or increases the frequency of a preceding response. Negative reinforcement is the same as punishment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Factors that affect operant conditioning can be temporal, spatial, perceptual, or a combination of those and can deal with the nature of the response, of the reinforcer or the relationship between them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Operant behavior is behavior “controlled” by its consequences. In practice, operant conditioning is the study of reversible behavior maintained by reinforcement schedules. We review empirical studies and theoretical approaches to two large classes of operant behavior: interval timing and choice.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is NOT true of operant conditioning? Negative reinforcement reduces the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated.

Detailed explanation-5: -Positive reinforcement occurs when the removal of an aversive or unpleasant stimulus following an emitted behavior strengthens the occurrence of the behavior.
