Jessica Jenkins-Johnson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  In operant conditioning, behavior is influenced by its consequences. Specifically, behaviors that are followed by rewarding consequences are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors that are followed by punishing consequences are less likely to be repeated. Primary conditioning and delayed conditioning are not recognized forms of learning, while classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with a naturally occurring stimulus to elicit a reflexive response.
