Question

the term
einforcer\ refers to any condition that _____ a response. strengthens or weakens weakens or eliminates follows and strengthens precedes and causes

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, a reinforcer is a stimulus that follows a response and increases the likelihood of that response occurring again (strengthens it). Options like "strengthens or weakens" are incorrect as reinforcers specifically strengthen. "Weakens or eliminates" refers to punishers. "Precedes and causes" is not the correct temporal - response relationship (reinforcer follows the response).

Answer:

C. Follows and strengthens
