Answer:

- Any behavior that is accidentally reinforced is more likely to be repeated.

Explanation:

Superstitious behavior could be described as <u>'a behavior that is reinforced coincidentally due to temporal contiguity/closeness between an independent behavior and the distribution of reinforcer.'</u> Skinner, the famous psychologist, showed this through his experiment in which the 'rats were susceptible to human behavior as they knew that arriving at that place would assist them in getting the food'(however, not being related directly). Such behavior exemplifies the superstitious behavior(that has been reinforced on rats accidentally) which makes them behave in a certain way to get the desired results(food).
