Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Learning occurs through the establishment of associations between a stimulus (i.e., a cue) and a response. The strength of this connection can be increased or decreased depending on the presence or absence of a reward or punishment (i.e., reinforcement or punishment). The learner and their drive are important factors in the learning process, but they do not direct the formation of the association between cue and response.
