describe observational learning and explain how it relates to classical and Ope-rant conditioning
Operant conditioning is a form of psychological learning during which an individual modifies the occurrence and form of its own behavior due to the association of the behavior with a stimulus. [ Operant conditioning is distinguished from classical conditioning (also called respondent conditioning) in that operant conditioning deals with the modification of "voluntary behavior" or operant behavior. Operant behavior "operates" on the environment and is maintained by its consequences, while classical conditioning deals with the conditioning of reflexive (reflex) behaviors which are elicited by
antecedent conditions. Behaviors conditioned via a classical conditioning procedure are not maintained by consequences. source and more information:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning ]
