Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) is based on the principle of:
2) Operant ConditioningExplanation:- Operant Conditioning, developed by B.F. Skinner, focuses on learning through reinforcement and feedback.
- CAI provides immediate feedback, reinforcement, and adaptive learning, which align with Skinner's behaviorist theory.
- It uses rewards (positive reinforcement) and corrections (negative reinforcement) to guide learning.
Other options:- Classical Conditioning (Ivan Pavlov) – Focuses on involuntary responses to stimuli, not active learning.
- Pavlovian Conditioning – Another name for Classical Conditioning.
- Respondent Conditioning – Also another term for Classical Conditioning.
Thus, Operant Conditioning is the correct answer!
