The environment is really important but can also be tricky when it comes to classical and operant conditioning. Here’s how it works:

1. Impact of Surroundings: Things happening around us can sometimes hide our learned behaviors, making them hard to see or copy.

2. Dependence on Context: The effects of conditioning often depend on where they happen. This makes it hard to use what we learn in different places.

3. Conflicting Signals: When there are many different things happening, it can make the reinforcement process confusing.

Ways to Improve:

• Practicing in different environments can help us apply what we learn better.
• Carefully controlled experiments can help reduce outside factors, giving us a clearer understanding.
