Question

In __________, infants act on the environment, and stimuli that follow their behavior change the probability that the behavior will occur again.

Answer 1

The correct answer is operant conditioning.
This type of conditioning is controlled by consequences - meaning that, depending on the type of reinforcement/punishment, an individual will either repeat or stop doing something. For example, if a child wants to touch a stove, once it does that, it will burn its hand, and after that happens, it won't do it again.
