Question

What should be changed to make the following sentence true ? In operant conditioning, organisms learn to associate events that repeatedly happen together. The word "repeatedly" should be changed to the word "rarely." The word "operant" should be changed to the word "classical." The word "conditioning" should be changed to the word "reinforcement." The word "repeatedly" should be changed to the word "never."

Answer 1

Answer:

The word "operant" should be changed to the word "classical."

Explanation:

In the sentence, the word operant refers to organisms whose behavior is spontaneous rather than a response to stimulus, and which reinforces the reccurence of such behavior. However, the adjective classical applies to exemplary standard or coventional organisms. Thus, classical organisms concern organisms in general which, in this case, relate events that occur over and over again.
