Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operant extinction occurs when a previously reinforced behavior (in this case, going to the restaurant for lunch) decreases in frequency or stops altogether because it is no longer being reinforced (the food and menu becoming boring). Therefore, the best choice is C: operant extinction. Response chaining refers to a series of behaviors linked together in a sequence to achieve a goal. Latent learning involves learning that is not immediately obvious or demonstrated until there is an incentive to do so. Stimulus generalization involves responding in a similar way to different but similar stimuli. None of these processes accurately explain the situation described in the prompt.
