Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relevance relations are an essential aspect of instrumental conditioning, as they determine the connection between the behavior and the outcome (reinforcer). Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Option A and B are incorrect because there are limitations on the types of response dimensions and behavioral units that may be modified by instrumental conditioning. Option D is also incorrect because the type of behavior that develops is strongly influenced by reinforcer characteristics.
