Classical Conditioning:
What It Is: This is a way of learning where something that usually doesn't mean much (a neutral thing) starts to connect with something that does (an unconditioned thing).
How It Works: It can make us respond automatically. For example, when Pavlov worked with dogs, they learned to drool when they heard a bell because they expected food.
Interesting Fact: About 70% of animals that have been studied show they can learn to respond to signals after hearing them many times.
Operant Conditioning:
What It Is: This is a learning method that uses rewards or punishments to shape behavior.
How It Works: It helps change what we do on purpose. For example, in Skinner's experiments, 90% of rats learned to perform tasks to get food.
Interesting Fact: More than 80% of animals changed their behavior based on the rewards or punishments they received.
