OPERANT CONDITIONING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The theory of operant conditioning predicts that ____
A
Anything that can be learned can be unlearned
B
Anything that increases a behavior is called a punishment
C
Anything that decreases a behavior is called a reinforcer
D
Involuntary responses can be elicited by neutral stimuli after pairing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The question arises as to whether it is possible to reverse the learning process and unlearn a behavior. This process is called extinction and it can be used to unlearn classical or operant conditioned behavior [3].

Detailed explanation-2: -Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that uses rewards and punishment to modify behavior. Through operant conditioning, behavior that is rewarded is likely to be repeated, and behavior that is punished will rarely occur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Operant conditioning explains that behavior is reflexive because it is modeled by the responses received from different events.

Detailed explanation-4: -We therefore conclude that the operant behavior has a facilitating effect on the classical training. In addition, we show that an operantly learned stimulus is successfully transferred from the behavior of the training to a different behavior.
