    Operant Conditioning

    Explanation:

    Monkey taught to pull levers & 1st, 2nd, 3rd lever - giving him fruit, nothing, mild shock respectively : is a case of Operant Conditioning

    Operant Conditioning refers to developing good & bad behaviour, by rewarding for desirable (good) behaviour & punishing for undesirable (bad) behaviour.

    This theory is usually used to train many animals. For eg : Dogs are trained to sit & stay by offering them treat; so they learn to sit & stay - is also an illustrative case of Operant Conditioning.
