OPERANT CONDITIONING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process that ____ the likelihood of a behavior occurring again is most appropriately called ____
A
Increases, Trial and Error Learning
B
Decreases, Shaping
C
Increases, Reinforcement
D
Decreases, Active Learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Operant conditioning is a learning process in which new behaviors are acquired and modified through their association with consequences. Reinforcing a behavior increases the likelihood it will occur again in the future while punishing a behavior decreases the likelihood that it will be repeated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reinforcement, either positive or negative, works by increasing the likelihood of a behaviour. Punishment, on the other hand, refers to any event that weakens or reduces the likelihood of a behaviour.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reinforcement is used to help increase the probability that a specific behavior will occur in the future by delivering or removing a stimulus immediately after a behavior. Another way to put it is that reinforcement, if done correctly, results in a behavior occurring more frequently in the future.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive reinforcement is a process that strengthens the likelihood of a particular response by adding a stimulus after the behavior is performed. Negative reinforcement also strengthens the likelihood of a particular response, but by removing an undesirable consequence.

Detailed explanation-5: -Positive reinforcement refers to the introduction of a desirable or pleasant stimulus after a behavior. The desirable stimulus reinforces the behavior, making it more likely that the behavior will reoccur.
