Table : TABLE 2.2Three Types of Learning Behaviorism is also called learning theory because it emphasizes the learning process, as shown here.
Type of LearningLearning ProcessResult
Classical ConditioningLearning occurs through association.Neutral stimulus becomes conditioned response.
Operant ConditioningLearning occurs through reinforcement and punishment.Weak or rare responses becomes strong, frequent responses—or, with punishment, become extinct.
Social LearningLearning occurs through modeling what others do.Observed behaviors become copied behaviors.
