Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In operant conditioning the time of the response is
A
after the stimulus.
B
before the stimulus.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The stimulus occurs immediately before the response. The stimulus (either reinforcement or punishment) occurs soon after the response.

Detailed explanation-2: -The classical conditioning process is all about pairing a previously neutral stimulus with another stimulus that naturally produces a response. After pairing the presentation of these two together enough times, an association is formed. The previously neutral stimulus will then evoke the response all on its own.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -According to this principle, behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences is likely to be repeated, and behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is less likely to be repeated.

Detailed explanation-5: -In classical conditioning, a stimulus comes before the response. In operant conditioning, a behavior comes first and is then rewarded or punished.
