You have been asked to write a short report highlighting key points on how conditioning theory principles may be used in training. Which of the following points is NOT likely to be included in your report?

A) training material should be broken up into logical parts
B) trainees should be rewarded and encouraged throughout the training process
C) generalization means that the conditioned response occurs in circumstances different from those in the training environment
D) trainees should only be rewarded when they are able to generalize concepts learned in the training process

Question

Jacob Bunea · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The statement that trainees should only be rewarded when they are able to generalize concepts learned in the training process is not likely to be included in the report because it is not entirely accurate. While encouraging generalization is important, trainees should be rewarded for making progress and demonstrating mastery of the material regardless of whether they are able to generalize it to new situations. Therefore, this point is not a key principle of conditioning theory that is relevant to training.
