Who is associated with the development of operant conditioning theory?

Jean Piaget
B.F. Skinner
Lawrence Kohlberg
Albert Bandura

The correct answer is: B.F. Skinner

Operant conditioning theory was developed by B.F. Skinner, not by any of the other individuals listed as options. Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist known for his work on cognitive development, not for operant conditioning. Lawrence Kohlberg was an American psychologist known for his theory of moral development, which also has no direct connection to operant conditioning. Lastly, Albert Bandura was a Canadian psychologist known for his work on social learning theory, which although related to operant conditioning, is not the same theory. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
