In which type of learning is a behavior strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher?
Operant conditioning (also called instrumental conditioning) is a type of associative learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment.It is also a procedure that is used to bring about such learning . Although operant and classical conditioning both involve behaviors controlled by environmental stimuli they differ in nature.
In behavioral psychology reinforcement is a consequence applied that will strengthen an organism's future behavior whenever that behavior is preceded by a specific antecedent stimulus.This strengthening effect may be measured as a higher frequency of behavior (e.g. pulling a lever more frequently) longer duration (e.g. pulling a lever for longer periods of time) greater magnitude (e.g ...

Classical conditioning (also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning) refers to a learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g. food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a bell). It also refers to the learning process that results from this pairing through which the neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response (e.g. salivation) that is usually similar to ...
Law of effect is the belief that a pleasing after-effect strengthens the action that produced it. The law of effect was published by Edward Thorndike in 1905 and states that when an S-R association is established in instrumental conditioning between the instrumental response and the contextual stimuli that are present the response is reinforced and the S-R association holds the sole ...
