Operant Conditioning

A learning framework in which the force of a behavior is altered by the administration of rewards or corrective actions.

Spontaneous Recovery

A conditioned response that had been eliminated reemerges after a time without any contact with the stimulus that initially created it.

Respondent Behavior

Behavior that occurs in response to specific stimuli and is usually conditioned by previous experiences.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
This scenario best illustrates operant conditioning, where a behavior (doing cartwheels) is reinforced by a consequence (attention from parents), leading to an increased likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future.
