How does reinforcement influence learning outcomes according to operant conditioning principles?
Reinforcement increases the likelihood of a response by providing a reward or removing something unpleasant.
Reinforcement decreases the frequency of undesired responses through positive penalties.
Reinforcement primarily functions by creating an association between two unrelated stimuli.
Reinforcement has no impact on learning outcomes since it doesn't affect cognition directly.
