Detailed explanation-1: -In operant conditioning, an animal learns to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Associative learning modifies the behavior via relating one stimulus with another, or relating a stimulus with a particular behavior. In classical conditioning, a person pairs two stimuli, and therefore reflex response is modified.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conditioning is a type of learning that links some sort of trigger or stimulus to a human behavior or response.

Detailed explanation-4: -To understand classical conditioning, it is essential to be familiar with the following terms. A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that at first elicits no response. Pavlov introduced the ringing of the bell as a neutral stimulus. An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response.

Detailed explanation-5: -In operant conditioning, organisms learn to associate a behavior and its consequence ([link]). A pleasant consequence makes that behavior more likely to be repeated in the future.
