Question 17

Question
Rovee-Collier (1999) attached a mobile ribbon to a 3-month old baby's ankle during her research experiment. The baby quickly found out that by repeatedly kicking, the mobile would move. What does this say about operant conditioning?
Answer
  • Infants understand operant conditioning before they are 6 months old. By kicking, it shows that, in context-dependent situations, they can perform behaviours relative to previous events
  • Her findings were inconclusive as they were too often found to be shown in some infants, but not in others
  • Infants still need a few more months before they can understand behaviours related to operant conditioning. Even when the baby kicked the first time, it didn't necessarily correlate to activating the mobile, context-dependent or otherwise
  • None of the above

Question
Rovee-Collier's (1999) research showed that:
Answer
  • Babies can learn through their own behaviour quickly the consequences of their actions
