Operant conditioning - correct answer-A type of learning where the consequences that
immediately follow a behavior determine the probability of the behavior being
repeated. An example of operant conditioning in dog training is when we give a treat
to a dog for sitting. This increases the probability that the dog will do this behavior in
the future.

pairing of a conditioned and unconditioned stimulus to produce a unconditioned
response can lead to a conditioned response in the presence of the unconditioned
stimulus alone.

in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation, and
responses that produce a discomforting effect become less likely to occur again in
that situation
