Detailed explanation-1: -Skinner is the psychologist most closely associated with operant conditioning. The technique of pairing two stimuli so that the response to one is elicited by the other is a technique based on social learning theory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Operant conditioning was first described by behaviorist B.F. Skinner. His theory was based on two assumptions. First, the cause of human behavior is something in a person’s environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Skinner. Operant conditioning is a form of learning in which the motivation for a behavior happens after the behavior is demonstrated. An animal or a human receives a consequence after performing a specific behavior. The consequence is either a reinforcer or a punisher.
Detailed explanation-4: -Closely related to, and often thought to be a component of, operant conditioning is classical or Pavlovian conditioning. The prototypical example of Pavlovian conditioning is of course Pavlov and his dogs.
