Operant conditioning is the type of learning in which the behaviour is modified by its consequences. Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which a previously neutral stimulus comes to evoke a response after being associated with a stimulus that already evokes a response. Associational learning is a general term for any type of learning in which an association is made between two events. Flooding is a type of therapy that involves exposing the person to highly anxiety-provoking situations until the anxiety is extinguished.
