Which one of the following does not belong to the mechanism of operant learning ?

  • A.Events that follow an action
  • B.Involuntary response
  • C.Process that weakens or suppresses behaviour
  • D.Use of consequences to strengthen behaviour.

Answer: B

Involuntary response does not belong to operant learning. Operant behaviour is voluntary and is shaped by the events that follow it. Involuntary, reflex responses are the province of classical (respondent) conditioning.

Events that follow an action, a process that weakens behaviour (punishment) and the use of consequences to strengthen behaviour (reinforcement) all describe how operant learning works.
