Operant behaviors can be influenced by:

A) changing the consequences of those behaviors
B) measuring the consequences of those behaviors
C) charting the occurrence of those behaviors

Reflexive Behaviors

Automatic responses or actions without conscious thought, often as a result of stimuli or habits.

Operant Behaviors

Behaviors that are controlled or influenced by their consequences, including rewards and punishments.

Changing The Consequences

Changing the consequences involves altering the outcomes or repercussions of actions in order to influence behavior, often implemented to encourage positive behavior or deter negative actions.

  • Discern the impact of reinforcement and its distinct forms on the process of learning and the modification of behavior.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Operant behaviors are learned behaviors that are influenced by their consequences. By changing the consequences of the behavior, such as giving a reward or punishment, the likelihood of the behavior being repeated or stopped in the future changes. Measuring or charting the occurrence of the behavior can help track progress, but it does not directly influence the behavior itself. Pairing operant behaviors with reflexive behaviors does not necessarily have an impact on the operant behavior.
