To eliminate unwanted behaviors two concepts were established extinction and punishment.

Ambassador. In recent years the importance of zoos has been recognised. They are a valuable asset to our society because of the role they play in education and awareness for animals and the breeding programs that have been formed to fight possible extinction.

Humans have the responsibility of looking after our animals‚ and in an ever

Individual Assignment: Phobias and Addiction Paper Classical conditioning and operant conditioning both involve the learning process. Through classical conditioning a subject will learn to respond to a stimulus such as a light or bell before food is given. In operant conditioning a subject will learn by a response given off from its environment such as hitting a button or lever accidentally resulting in a positive reinforcement‚ food given‚ and a higher chance that the action will happen again
