Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral learning theories are based on the idea that learning is a result of the connections we form between events. This includes classical conditioning (associating a neutral stimulus with a reflex response) and operant conditioning (associating a behavior with a consequence). Watching the actions of others (observational learning) is also a component of behavioral learning theories, but it is not the sole assumption. The importance of affect, problem-solving, creativity, and intuition are not central to traditional behavioral learning theories.
