Operant conditioning can teach a person to be compulsive‚ such as someone

flexible. This means that each of us can learn to behave in ways that benefit rather than harm ourselves and others. The question is: how does this learning take place? We will focus on four types of learning – habituation‚ classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning‚ and observational learning. What is common among all these types of learning is that they work under the principle of learning by association. The simplest form of learning is habituation – a tendency to become familiar with a stimulus

methods are classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Precisely‚ what is conditioning? Conditioning is the process of changing behavior in such a way that an action formerly associated with a particular stimulus becomes associated with a new and unrelated stimulus.

Direct experience refers to if a child is rewarded for being aggressive‚ that behaviour is positively reinforced and more likely o be repeated. Vicarious experience refers to when a child sees a role model behaving in a particular way and imitates the behaviour of the model. Aggression is learned through reinforcement

children have learnt but ignoring the process of learning. So in this essay‚ an activity is designed for students and there are two learning theories that are used to apply into the activity. Those theories are the social learning theory and the operant conditioning. Examples would be used from the activity to explain how the theories fit into the design and process of facilitating children’s learning. In order to make clear application of the theories‚ the activity is need to be introduced in detail

behaviors are developed through operant and classical conditioning‚ so are addictions and phobias. Establishing the differences of classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning‚ how phobias and addictions are related‚ and the following extinctions of both conditions are what will be discussed.

theories proposed by various people on the types of learning behavior. The main learning techniques of learning theories are classical‚ operant‚ and cognitive social learning. Classical conditioning is the learning in which a neutral stimulus creates a response after it is paired with a stimulus that naturally brings about that response (Feldman‚ 2010). Operant conditioning is the specific form of learning that takes place through rewards as well as punishments. It was proposed by Skinner (Corey‚ 2008)
