What are the two types of conditioning?

The two types of conditioning are classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning was pioneered by Ivan Pavlov and involves associating a natural reflexive response with a neutral stimulus. Through repetition and pairing, the neutral stimulus becomes conditioned and produces the same response as the natural stimulus. Operant conditioning, on the other hand, was developed by B. F. Skinner and focuses on voluntary behaviors and their consequences. It involves shaping behavior through reinforcement and punishment, whereby behaviors that are rewarded or reinforced are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors that are punished or ignored are less likely to occur. Both types of conditioning play significant roles in learning and behavior modification.
