Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pavlovian conditioning is also known as classical conditioning, which involves pairing a neutral stimulus (such as a bell) with a naturally occurring stimulus (such as food) to elicit a desired response (such as salivation). Instrumental conditioning refers to the process of learning through reinforcement and punishment, while operant conditioning is a type of instrumental conditioning that involves shaping behavior through reinforcement and punishment. Behaviorism is a broad term that encompasses both classical and operant conditioning, as well as other approaches to studying behavior.
