Answer 1

A schedule of reinforcement ____.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Reinforcement Schedule refers to the steps involved in the reinforcement process. So, the option e is correct.
• The option a is not correct as these are not the necessary steps to establish a respondent.
• The option b is incorrect as it is not necessary to establish an operant response.
• The option c is incorrect as this doesn't tell us the behavior can be conditioned.
• The option d is not incorrect as it is used by the operant researchers.
