Answer to Question 1

Briefly discuss the behaviorist idea of operant conditioning as developed by Skinner.
One way that behavior emerges and is maintained is through the processes of reinforcement and punishment
(Skinner, 1969; Sulzer-Azaroff & Mayer, 1991). This is called operant conditioning. In the operant world,
reinforcement consists of the events, feelings, and thoughts that occur immediately after a behavior is
produced and cause the behavior to continue or increase.
