Question

a. operant conditioning with a positive reenforcement

b. operant conditioning with negative reenforcement

c. operant conditioning with punishment

d. none of the above​

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the trainer has already threatened and hit the tiger before.

thus, when he cracks the whip, the tiger is afraid and will "volunteeringly" jump through the hoop.

the defination of operant conditioning with punishment is any change in a human or animal's surroundings which, occurring after a given behavior or response, reduces the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.
