Question: 1 / 400

What type of learning occurs when a new behavior is rewarded?

Errorless learning

Latent learning

Operant conditioning

Operant conditioning is the type of learning that occurs when a new behavior is rewarded. It involves learning through consequences, such as receiving a reward for a specific behavior. Errorless learning (A) is a type of learning where mistakes are minimized, not necessarily involving rewards. Latent learning (B) occurs without any obvious reinforcement or reward. Vicarious learning (D), also known as observational learning, involves learning by watching others and imitating their behavior, rather than being directly rewarded for one's own actions. These types of learning do not directly involve rewards for a new behavior, making them incorrect options.
