Operant conditioning occurs when a behavior is strengthened or weakened through the consequences that follow it. Positive reinforcement adds a desirable stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior, while negative reinforcement removes an undesirable stimulus to do the same. Punishment decreases the chances of a behavior by applying an aversive consequence, while extinction involves removing the reinforcement that previously maintained a behavior.
Involuntary conditioning is associated with classical conditioning, while voluntary conditioning is associated with operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves learning by association between stimuli, while operant conditioning involves learning by reinforcement or punishment of behaviors.
Both classical and operant conditioning are forms of associative learning, where behavior is influenced through the process of forming associations between stimuli and responses. In classical conditioning, the association is between two stimuli, while in operant conditioning, the association is between a behavior and its consequence.
B.F. Skinner is the researcher most associated with operant conditioning. He conducted numerous studies on how behavior is influenced by its consequences, such as reinforcement and punishment. Skinner's work contributed greatly to the understanding of how behavior can be shaped and maintained through operant conditioning processes.
Shaping is a technique used within operant conditioning where behaviors are gradually molded or "shaped" towards a specific target behavior using reinforcement. Operant conditioning, on the other hand, is a broader term that refers to the process of learning through the consequences of one's actions, including reinforcement and punishment. In essence, shaping is a specific method or tool within the larger framework of operant conditioning.
According to Skinner, in classical conditioning behavior is elicited or triggered by a specific stimulus, while in operant conditioning behavior is shaped and maintained by its consequences. This means that in classical conditioning, the behavior is a reflex response to a stimulus, whereas in operant conditioning, behavior is voluntary and influenced by reinforcements or punishments.
Another name for Operant Conditioning is instrumental conditioning.
Involuntary conditioning is associated with classical conditioning, while voluntary conditioning is associated with operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves learning by association between stimuli, while operant conditioning involves learning by reinforcement or punishment of behaviors.
Yes! phobias are developed through classical conditioning and addictions through operant conditioning.

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.
Both classical and operant conditioning are forms of associative learning, where behavior is influenced through the process of forming associations between stimuli and responses. In classical conditioning, the association is between two stimuli, while in operant conditioning, the association is between a behavior and its consequence.
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.
It's how rapidly an animal can be trained to a new operant behavior as a function of reinforcement.
