• B. Blackboard skill
• C. Explanation skill
• D. Reinforcement skill

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Reinforcement skill

The idea of strengthening the connection between stimulus and response comes from behaviorist psychology, especially the work of B. F. Skinner.

• Reinforcement means giving a response (reward, praise, encouragement, etc.) that increases the likelihood of a desired behavior being repeated.

• When a correct response is reinforced, the connection between the stimulus (question/situation) and the response (student’s answer/behavior) becomes stronger.
