Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skinner referred to emitted responses as "operants," meaning behaviors that operate on the environment to produce consequences that in turn strengthen or weaken the likelihood of the behavior occurring again in the future. Habits, S-R bonds, and drives are all concepts related to behaviorism, but do not specifically refer to emitted responses as Skinner used the term.
