  • Q8
    What is positive reinforcement in operant conditioning?
    A stimulus is added to the environment to increase the likelihood of a behavior recurring.
    A neutral stimulus is presented to cause a conditioned response.
    A stimulus is removed from the environment to decrease the likelihood of a behavior recurring.

  • Q9
    What is negative reinforcement in operant conditioning?
    A neutral stimulus is presented to cause a conditioned response.
    A stimulus is added to the environment to increase the likelihood of a behavior recurring.

  • Q10
    What is the difference between positive punishment and negative punishment in operant conditioning?
    Positive punishment involves adding a neutral stimulus to cause a conditioned response, while negative punishment involves removing a neutral stimulus to cause a conditioned response.
    Positive punishment involves adding a rewarding stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior recurring, while negative punishment involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior recurring.
    Positive punishment involves removing a rewarding stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior recurring, while negative punishment involves adding an aversive stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior recurring.
    Positive punishment involves adding an aversive stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior recurring, while negative punishment involves removing a rewarding stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior recurring.

    Using both positive and negative reinforcement simultaneously.
    Punishing undesirable behaviors to decrease their occurrence.
    Gradually reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly closer to the desired behavior.
    30s
  • Q13
    What is a primary reinforcer in operant conditioning?
    A stimulus that is inherently rewarding and satisfies a biological need.
    A stimulus that is removed from the environment to discourage the recurrence of a behavior.
    A stimulus that is paired with a conditioned stimulus to produce a response.
    A stimulus that is initially neutral but acquires reinforcing properties through association.
    A stimulus that is presented immediately after the desired behavior to increase its likelihood in the future.
