- B. Each schedule of reinforcement influences the course of conditioning in its own way; and thus conditioned responses occur with differential characteristics.
- C. Delay in the delivery of reinforcement leads to better level of performance.
- D. A reinforcer is defined as any stimulus or event, which increases the probability of the occurrence of a (desired) response.
Correct Answer is: C. Delay in the delivery of reinforcement leads to better level of performance.

Q.11 Which of the following statement doesn't correctly explain the differences between Classical and Operant Conditioning?
- A. In operant conditioning, responses are voluntary responses and are under the control of organism. But In classical conditioning, the responses are under the control of some stimulus because they are reflexes, automatically elicited by the appropriate stimuli.
- B. In operant conditioning the CS and US are well-defined, but in classical conditioning CS is not defined.
- C. For US in classical conditioning the organism remains passive, while in operant conditioning the subject has to be active in order to be reinforced.
- D. In classical conditioning, the experimenter controls the occurrence of US, while in operant conditioning the occurrence of the reinforcer is under the control of the organism that is learning.
Correct Answer is: B. In operant conditioning the CS and US are well-defined, but in classical conditioning CS is not defined.
