An operant that occurs more frequently under some antecedent conditions than under others is called what?
Correct Answer:
Discriminated operant
Explanation:
This question taps into stimulus control. When an operant occurs more frequently under certain antecedent conditions, that antecedent signals that reinforcement is available, so the behavior is emitted more in its presence. This pattern is called a discriminated operant. The discriminative stimulus is the cue that sets the occasion for the response, not the behavior itself. Discriminated operants show how behavior changes with different cues. Duration refers to how long a response lasts, and ecological assessment is a method for evaluating environmental factors, not a type of operant.
