OPERANT AND RESPONDENT CONDITIONING
This week, you explored two types of learningâoperant and respondent conditioning. With respondent conditioning, individuals emit reflexive behavior in the presence of certain stimuli. With operant conditioning, behaviors continue to occur, or not, due to the consequences that follow them.
