The philosophy of operant conditioning has been demonstrated in many experiments using different types of species such as animals and humans. Operant conditioning refers to the process of reinforcing a response that is made in the company of a stimulus. In today’s life we are pulled and pushed by many events in our environment.

models of behavioural learning‚ which are called respondent conditioning and operant conditioning respectively. Lavond (2003) highlighted that the starting point for respondent or classical conditioning is an involuntary response to a stimulus. This is usually an innate behaviour that does not require specific though to demonstrate‚ and is usually an automatic response such as jumping at the sound of a loud noise. Respondent conditioning in the sense of stimuli and responses was initially investigated

explanation 2. Define classical and operant conditioning. (4 points) Classical conditioning is the learning that takes place based on an association of a stimulus that does not ordinarily elicit a response with another stimulus that does elicit the response. Operant conditioning is a process in which a response is gradually learned via reinforcement or punishment. a. How are they the same? How are they different?

gain approval from others. One way that attitudes can be formed is through the classical conditioning theory. Classical conditioning is “learning through association when a neutral conditioned stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally produces an emotional response” (Franzoi 2010‚p.157). Classical Conditioning is the affective component of attitudes. An example of classical conditioning would be “the soft click of the switch that turns on a noisy bathroom fan would have little

The learning theory proposes that attachment behaviours are learnt through the imitation of the attachment figures meaning they are not innate. One explanation of how this happens is through Classical Conditioning. In the Learning Theory Classical Conditioning is the forming of an attachment through association. The Learning Theory states that when a baby is born they naturally want food. When the mother feeds the baby it automatically associates the food which is the primary reinforces with its
