response to occur.
i.e. bright light in the eyes (antecedent stimulus) will elicit pupil contraction.
operant behavior - ANSWER Behavior that is selected, maintained, and brought under stimulus control as
a function of its consequences.
each person's repertoire of this type of behavior is a product of his history of interactions with the
