Answer 1

The correct answer is Operant Conditioning.

Operant Conditioning refers to the process of gaining knowledge of system via which the power of a behavior is modified by using reinforcement or punishment. it's also a method that is used to bring about such learning.

even though operant and classical conditioning both contain behaviors managed by environmental stimuli, they range in nature. In operant conditioning, stimuli present when a behavior is rewarded or punished come to govern that conduct.
