Detailed explanation-1: -Operant conditioning relies on a fairly simple premise: Actions that are followed by reinforcement will be strengthened and more likely to occur again in the future. If you tell a funny story in class and everybody laughs, you will probably be more likely to tell that story again in the future.
Detailed explanation-2: -Operant conditioning involves learning through the consequences of behavior. Presenting the subject with something that it likes. e.g., Skinner rewarded his rats with food pellets. Reward – in the sense of removing or avoiding some aversive (painful) stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that uses rewards and punishment to modify behavior. Through operant conditioning, behavior that is rewarded is likely to be repeated, and behavior that is punished will rarely occur.
Detailed explanation-4: -The four types of operant conditioning are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment.
