D. The consequences of behaviour are relatively unimportant

Answer

C

Explanation

The theory of BF Skinner operant conditioning is based upon the idea that learning is a function of change in overt behavior. Changes in behavior are the result of an individual.s response to events (stimuli) that occur in the environment. A response produces a consequence such as defining a word, hitting a ball etc. when a particular Stimulus-Response (S-R) pattern is reinforced (rewarded), the individual is conditioned to respond.
