Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is operant conditioning, in which behavior is strengthened or weakened based on the consequences (reinforcements or punishments) that follow it. Vicarious conditioning involves learning through observing the consequences of others' behavior, respondent conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response, and classical conditioning involves pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response.
