It's how rapidly an animal can be trained to a new operant behavior as a function of reinforcement.
These terms apply to classical conditioning but not to operant conditioning
Yes! phobias are developed through classical conditioning and addictions through operant conditioning.
Operant Conditioning is also called Skinner after B.F. Skinner who created the Skinner Box.

I believe it is Pavlov ^^ Close, but Pavlov is better associated with classical conditioning while I believe B.F. Skinner is most associated with operant conditioning.
Operant conditioning is a term used in the psychological arts. Operant conditioning is a promise of reward or praise for completing a task resulting in a decrease or increase in behaviour.
Operant conditioning is a type of conditioning where we learn something because it is immediately followed by a pleasant effect. That pleasant effect is sometimes a direct reward. For example, an animal might learn to press a lever to avoid getting shocked; or a schoolgirl might do her homework purely to avoid getting into trouble the next day. This is my understanding of operant conditioning. Hope it helped in any way.
One of the many uses of operant conditioning is in an educational setting. Operant conditioning involves punishment or reward (be it positive or negative) that encourage or discourage an activity. Operant conditioning might be used to reward children for good work, making them more likely to do this work in future. It can also be used to punish misbehaving children, making them less likely to misbehave in future.
