Learning in which a voluntary response is strengthened or weakened, depending on it favorable or unfavorable consequences is called-conditioning
A-Operant
B-Negative
C-Positive
D-Classical
A- Operant
The correct answer is A-Operant conditioning.
The correct answer is A- Operant conditioning.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the different types of learning and their characteristics.
Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which behavior is modified through the use of rewards and punishments. It is also known as instrumental conditioning. In this type of learning, behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on the consequences they produce.
On the other hand, negative and positive conditioning are not recognized terms in psychology or learning theories.
Negative conditioning might be a confusion with negative reinforcement, which is one of the four types of operant conditioning where a behavior is strengthened by the removal or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus.
Positive conditioning might be a confusion with positive reinforcement, another type of operant conditioning where a behavior is strengthened by the addition or presentation of something pleasant or rewarding.
Lastly, classical conditioning is a different type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a biologically relevant stimulus, causing a response to the neutral stimulus. This type of learning is not characterized by the strengthening or weakening of voluntary responses based on consequences.
Hence, based on the given options, the correct answer is A- Operant Conditioning.
