This describes the basic principles of operant conditioning, in which behaviors can either be reinforced (increasing the likelihood of them being repeated) or punished (decreasing the likelihood of them being repeated).

Insight learning is a different type of learning altogether, focused on sudden moments of realization or understanding.
