Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biofeedback is a technique in which a learner gains conscious control over his or her own biological response. The learner is connected to a device that provides information or feedback about their physiological responses (such as heart rate, breathing, or muscle tension), and through practice, they learn to control or change these responses. Contingency training involves reinforcing a behavior only when it is followed by a specific consequence. Cellular training is not a recognized operant conditioning technique. Social learning refers to the process of learning by observing and imitating others.
