Lori always yells at her 5-year-old son Jake when he won't get dressed for school. Although she has been yelling at him to get dressed nearly every day for months,
 
  he still
  does not comply when she asks him to get dressed. Operant conditioning would explain
  this by pointing out that
 
  5-year-olds are trying to exert their independence.
  Jake has come to associate mornings with yelling.
  Lori's yelling is not working as a punishment.
  Jake is fearful that he will appear incompetent at school.

Question 2

In operational conditioning, reinforcements have what effect on an individual's behavior?
 
  make the behavior more likely to reoccur
  make the behavior less likely to reoccur
  ensure that the behavior will remain constant
  cause an individual to think harder about his or her behavior
