In operant conditioning the reinforcement is contingent upon

  • A.Nature of the stimulus
  • B.Nature of the response
  • C.Both (A) and (B)
  • D.None of these

Answer: B

In operant conditioning the reinforcement is contingent upon the nature of the response.

In Skinner's operant conditioning the reinforcer is given only after the organism makes the desired response, so the response decides whether reinforcement follows. In classical conditioning the reinforcement comes with the stimulus.

The nature of the stimulus is the feature of classical conditioning, so (A) is wrong, which also rules out 'both' and 'none of these'.
