Which of the following analytical statements regarding the role of reinforcement is most accurate among Thorndike's 'Law of Effect', Pavlov's 'Classical Conditioning', and Skinner's 'Operant Conditioning'?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Thorndike's 'Law of Effect' and Skinner's 'Operant Conditioning', a satisfactory outcome or reinforcement is given after the organism makes a response, which increases the likelihood of repeating the behavior. In contrast, in Ivan Pavlov's 'Classical Conditioning', the unconditioned stimulus is always presented just before the response.
