Answer:

D. Whether they increase or decrease responses that follow

Explanation:

The term <em>operant conditioning</em> refers to a type of learning in which the outcome of an action affects one’s future behavior. The mentioned outcome can be a reward or a penalty (reinforcement or punishment). This way of learning was defined by American behaviorist Burrhus Frederic Skinner.

Reinforcement and punishment are the two basic notions of operant conditioning. Reinforcement refers to the stimulation of a desirable behavior by the gain of a desirable stimulus or forfeiture of an unpleasant one. Punishment discourages an undesirable behavior by imposition of an unpleasant stimulus or withdrawal of a pleasant one. That is the main difference between these two ways of behavior control.

How do i write a thesis statement??? (detail please)​
svp [43]
A thesis statement explains/introduces the main points that will be written and the purpose of your paper. When writing a thesis statement, get two main points that you can expand on. Next correlate those main themes to the topic and explain your reasoning. In a new sentence, explain the purpose, whether it is to persuade or inform people. I will use an example that I have written for a literary analysis paper.

Thesis: “Postponing reading/writing proficiency will affect bilingual families and their children and could hinder other kid’s levels of comphrension due to individuality and learning settings.”

Purpose: “In this essay, I will pose solutions to the consequences of children belatedly starting literacy prowess.”
