Operant conditioning theory explains that learning is based on the consequences of behavior. This means that behaviors that are reinforced (rewarded) are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors that are punished or ignored are less likely to be repeated. The theory does not involve modeling of behavior or require a teacher giving instructions, and it can occur with a single individual rather than requiring multiple participants.
