A Parrot Who Passed the Operant Conditioning 101

Operant Conditioning: The process by which a response becomes more likely to occur or less so, depending on its positive/reward or negative/punishment consequences. Operant conditioning deals with the modification of "voluntary behavior" or operant behavior. Operant behavior "operates" on the environment and is maintained by its consequences. How time effect learning: The more immediate a consequence is determines the effectiveness of the consequence.
