Concept:Operant conditioning is a learning method where behavior is shaped by rewards or punishments. It is also called instrumental conditioning because the behavior is instrumental in achieving a result.Explanation:B. F. Skinner proposed operant conditioning. In his experiments, a rat in a Skinner box learned to press a lever to get food. The rat’s action (pressing the lever) was controlled by the consequence (food reward). This idea is identical to instrumental conditioning, where a specific action leads to a specific outcome. Other conditioning types like classical conditioning (Pavlov), contiguous conditioning (Guthrie), or trace conditioning are different. The key point: operant conditioning and instrumental conditioning are two names for the same theory.Answer:The other name of operant conditioning is Instrumental conditioning (Option A).
