Pairing the unconditioned stimulus with the conditioned stimulus is not a step in using operant conditioning to teach young children to taste, chew, and eat a food. This step is associated with classical conditioning. The four steps in using operant conditioning are: 1) identify the target behavior, 2) provide a reinforcer after the desired behavior is performed, 3) shape the behavior, and 4) reinforce the behavior consistently to maintain it over time.
