Identify an accurate statement about operant conditioning. Select one: a. Responses are never spontaneously emitted in operant conditioning. b. A neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus in operant conditioning. c. The probability of occurrence of a previously reinforced response increases in operant conditioning. d. The occurrence of a particular behavior is independent of reinforcement in operant conditioning.

c. The probability of occurrence of a previously reinforced response increases in operant conditioning.

Explanation:

Only option C is an accurate statement about operant conditioning.

In operant conditioning, reinforcement refers to increasing the probability of occurrence of a specific behavior through a certain stimulus.

A neutral stimulus paired with an unconditioned stimulus is not part of operant conditioning; it´s part of the classical conditioning process.

The occurrence of a particular behavior is not independent but influenced by reinforcement in operant conditioning.
