Organisms acquire new responses through operant conditioning by associating a behavior with a consequence. If a response leads to a desirable outcome (reinforcement), the likelihood of the behavior being repeated increases. On the other hand, if a response leads to an aversive outcome (punishment), the likelihood of the behavior being repeated decreases. Over time, organisms learn which behaviors are most beneficial based on their consequences.
A decrease in the likelihood or rate of a target response typically indicates that the behavior is being extinguished or suppressed. This could be due to a lack of reinforcement, punishment, or the implementation of alternative behaviors.

True. Observing data that consistently increases or decreases in response to a variable indicates a trend. This trend can provide valuable information about the relationship between the variables being studied.
Punishers are consequences that decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring again in the future. They involve introducing an unpleasant stimulus or removing a pleasant one in response to a behavior, with the intention of reducing the likelihood of that behavior happening again.
