Detailed explanation-1: -Operant conditioning, also called instrumental conditioning, is a learning process where behaviors are modified through the association of stimuli with reinforcement or punishment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Observational learning is sometimes called shaping, modeling, and vicarious reinforcement. While it can take place at any point in life, it tends to be the most common during childhood. It also plays an important role in the socialization process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Extinction is the process in which the strength of a CR decreases with repeated presentations of the CS alone (without the UCS).
Detailed explanation-4: -Learning, like reflexes and instincts, allows an organism to adapt to its environment. But unlike instincts and reflexes, learned behaviors involve change and experience: learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge that results from experience.
