Detailed explanation-1: -Operant Conditioning Contingencies of Reinforcement. The behavior preceding the consequence is strengthened; it is more likely to occur again. The behavior preceding the consequence is weakened; it is less likely to occur again. The behavior preceding the consequence is weakened; it is less likely to occur again.
Detailed explanation-2: -The five principles of operant conditioning are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, negative punishment, and extinction. Extinction occurs when a response is no longer reinforced or punished, which can lead to the fading and disappearance of the behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -Contiguity: CS co-occurs with the US: they are contiguous, or close together, in space and time. Contingency: the CS predicts the US: the occurrence of the US is contingent on the prior occurrence of the CS.
Detailed explanation-4: -Contingency: in the operant case, the conditions under which a response produc-es a consequence (e.g., in a fixed interval, the reinforcer is contingent on a response of a given force, topography, etc., as well as on the passage of time).
