The law of effect‚ implied that “a behavior producing a favorable or satisfying outcome is more likely to reoccur‚ while a behavior producing an unfavorable or discomforting

Operant Conditioning and Classical Conditioning Operant conditioning is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. Through operant conditioning‚ an association is made between a behavior and a consequence for that behavior.
