Key Concepts

Operant Behavior

Operant behavior refers to voluntary actions that are influenced by their consequences. These actions are typically learned as individuals engage in behaviors to obtain positive outcomes or avoid negative ones, and they are central to the study of operant conditioning in behavioral psychology.

Respondent Behavior

Respondent behavior consists of automatic or reflexive responses elicited by specific stimuli. This type of behavior is commonly examined in classical conditioning, where an initially neutral stimulus, once paired with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to evoke a natural, involuntary response.
