Answer:

Operant Conditioning

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question you seem to be applying the principles of Operant Conditioning. This is a learning method designed by American psychologist and Behaviorist Burrhus Frederic Skinner in 1938, in which different behaviors are met with either a reward or a punishment in order to encourage or deter certain behaviors. Which is what you seem to be doing with Ralph by reinforcing a behavior with a candy bar or deterring it with a squirt gun.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
