The process by which a stimulus strengthens or increases the probability of the response that it follows is called:
A)higher-order conditioning.
B)latent learning.
C)classical conditioning.
D)reinforcement.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is reinforcement, which involves increasing the likelihood of a behavior through the presentation of a stimulus (positive reinforcement) or the removal of a stimulus (negative reinforcement). Higher-order conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a previously conditioned stimulus to produce a similar response, while latent learning refers to learning that occurs without an immediate change in behavior. Classical conditioning involves pairing an unconditioned stimulus with a neutral stimulus to create a conditioned response.
