Complete the pattern: Stimulus, Response, Reinforcement, ______
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The logic followed here is as follows:
Stimulus Response Reinforcement?
Now, check each option.
Option 1) Fits the extinction sequence (after reinforcement, the behavior may disappear).
Option 2) Does not follow a repetition pattern.
Option 3) Learning is very general, not the next step.
Option 4) Stimulation is not part of this sequence.
Therefore, "extinction" fits correctly.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
