Classical Conditioning

Introduction:Classical conditioning involves a learned association (when one thing happens, you expect another thing to happen because they have been paired together several times). We all encounter instances of classical conditioning in life every day. We are often so used to these learned associations that we don’t pay them much attention. Operant conditioning involves an increase or decrease in a behavior based on pleasant or unpleasant consequences. The terms reinforcement or punishment are used in operant conditioning.Watch this video:[CrashCourse]. (2014, Apr 21). How to train a brain – Crash course psychology #11 [Video file].
