LEARNING APPROACH Flashcards
what are the main assumptions

Explain classical conditioning
— it can be used to explain changes in behavior

Explain operant conditioning
-This is the idea that we learn from consequences of our actions
-if the consequences are rewarding then the behavior is repeated and vice versa.
