Operant Conditioning

A method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior, through which an association is made between a behavior and a consequence.

Classical Conditioning

Learning process in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an innately meaningful stimulus and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar response.

Latent Learning

Learning that occurs without becoming apparent in the learner's behavior until it is demonstrated under different conditions.

Discovery Learning

A method of inquiry-based instruction, cognitive theory, and problem-solving that involves exploration and discovery within the learning process.
