Learning Theories 1. Conditioning Scientist - Pavlov
2. Operant Behavior Conditioning Scientist - Skinner Operant conditioning (sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning) is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. Through operant conditioning, an association is made between a behavior and a consequence for that behavior. For example, when a lab rat presses a blue button, he receives a food pellet as a reward, but when he presses the red button he receives a mild electric shock. As a result, he learns to press the blue button but avoid the red button.

Observational Learning Imprinting Newly hatched birds or newborn mammals learn to follow the first object they see Watch video on observational learning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8rel_fYuqI
Clicker Training In clicker training you watch for the behavior you like, mark the instant it happens with a click, and pay off with a treat. The treat may be food, a pat, praise, or anything else the learner enjoys. If a primary reinforcer (like food) is used, the animal will become conditioned to repeat the action that produces the food.
