Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pavlovian conditioning is another term for classical conditioning, in which an organism learns to associate a previously neutral stimulus (such as a bell) with a biologically potent stimulus (such as food) to produce a behavior (such as salivating). "Behavior modification" is a more general term that can refer to any technique used to change behavior, while "operant conditioning" refers specifically to a type of learning in which behavior is shaped by consequences (reinforcement or punishment). "Consequence-oriented conditioning" is not a commonly used term in psychology.
