Which of the following statements is correct about adaptation dependent on observation behaviour? I. Classical conditioning is for conditioning natural behaviour II. Operant Conditioning is for conditioning the behaviour obtained Correct Answer I and II

Conditioning is the process of modifying one’s behaviour with the help of some preparation or training. Behaviourism theory is an idea which states that learning takes place owing to conditioning. John Watson is called the father of behaviourism. There are two types of conditioning:

  • Classical:  Classical conditioning refers to learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behaviour. Discovered by Ivan Pavlov, this conditioning has the following characteristics
  • Two factors: environment and a naturally occurring stimulus.
  • When the conditioned stimulus is evoked, the conditioned response takes place.
  • As soon as the lightning of the bolt takes place (stimulus), jumping happens (response) naturally by child.
  • Operant: Operant Conditioning is for conditioning the behaviour obtained which means most of our behaviours are not so simply generated by the environment. You are not forced by the environment to look at this book, to talk, to sing, and to eat. These behaviours are emitted by you, the individual. Through such behaviours, you operate upon the environment. These are called operant behaviours.
    • It is based on reinforcement and punishment.  For example, parents reinforce their kid to study well, and if he does not, he is punished or else he is offered a reward. 

Hence, we conclude that the above statements are true.

Which of the following statement regarding Operant Conditioning by B.F. Skinner is correct? I. Positive reinforcement occurs when removal of an aversive or unpleasant stimulus following an emitted behaviour strengthens the occurrence of the behaviour II. Negative reinforcement involves the representation of a pleasant stimulus followed by an emitted behaviour which strengthens the occurrence of the behaviour

The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph. P: Classical conditioning theory involves learning a new behaviour via the process of association. Q: In simple terms, two stimuli are linked together to produce a newly learned response in a person or animal. R: There are three stages of classical conditioning. S: At each stage, the stimuli and responses are given special scientific terms.
Consider the relational schema given below, where eId of the relation dependent is a foreign key referring to empId of the relation employee. Assume that every employee has at least one associated dependent in the dependent relation. Employee (empId, empName, empAge) Dependent(depId, eId, depName, depAge) Consider the following relational algebra query: ΠempId(employee)-ΠempId (employee⋈(empId = eID)∧(empAge ≤ depAge)dependent) The above query evaluates to the set of empIds of employees whose age is greater than that of
Given is a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is/are implicit in the statement. Statement: Sustainability can be defined as the practice of meeting the needs of the current generation without degrading or destroying the natural resources (e.g. water, soil, biodiversity, oil, minerals.) Assumptions: Our lives and economies are dependent on natural capital, which is made up of these natural resources and natural services, and the energy provided by the sun. Just as every investor knows, we should invest our capital and live off on the interest, it provides. To live sustainably, we need to do the same: protect our natural capital and live off our biological income.
