Ans. (c)
Operant conditioning refers to a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a positive or negative reinforcer. Positive reinforcement occurs when a favorable outcome occurs after an action then that particular behavior will be strengthened. For example, Arnold washes the dishes (behavior) in order to take out their family car for a ride (reinforcing stimulus). Negative reinforcement occurs when an aversive (unwanted) stimulus is removed after a good behavior is exhibited. For example, Billy does the homework (behavior) in order to stop his mother’s nagging (aversive stimulus).
