Question 19

A behaviourist researcher studying learning conducted a laboratory study with a puppy in a specialized playpen. The puppy could release a chew toy by nudging a small red lever with its nose. Each time the puppy nudged the lever, the toy was immediately released. At first, the puppy nudged the lever infrequently and by chance, but over several trials, the time taken to release the toy decreased.

Explain which type of conditioning is being investigated in this study?
