In operant conditioning studies, the subject’s motivational state is most typically operationally defined by:
A
observing the subject’s behavior over a long period of time.
B
using a type of reinforcement that the experimenter knows the subject usually likes.
C
depriving the subject of some desirable stimulus item for a period of time. (Correct)
D
using a novel stimulus that the subject is sure to like.
Could someone explain why the wrong choices are wrong and the correct ones are correct?
