Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. established; rewarded.

Explanation:

Both Watson and Skinner researched behavior and conducted different studies regarding it.

Let's look at both perspectives:

• Classical Conditioning (Watson): it aims to establish an association between a stimulus and a response in order to produce that response and behavior in the individual.
• Operant Conditioning (Skinner): it focuses on rewards in order to develop an individual's response and behavior.

Watson argued a particular behavior is established and Skinner argued a particular behavior is rewarded.
