उत्तर १

Learning is a complex process. There are many processes of learning.

Learning by an Operant Conditioning was explained by an American psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner. He performed an experiment in which a rat was put in a special box that contained a lever. If the rat pressed that lever, he was given food. Gradually the rat learnt to press the lever to get food. Here the rat is learning to connect his behaviour of pressing the lever with receiving the food. According to Skinner certain behaviours may be learnt to gain positive consequences. Similarly, he also demonstrated that certain behaviours may be learnt to avoid negative consequences.

उत्तर २

B.F. Skinner introduced operant conditioning, a method of learning in which the consequences of a type influence it. Positive reinforcement (a reward) is likely to lead to the repeated occurrence of a behaviour. In contrast, if followed by punishment, the behaviour reduces. This mechanism assists individuals in associating their voluntary acts with specific results in their environment.
