Learning is a process that happens in our brains. When we experience something, the brain makes connections between its different parts and stores those connections for future reference. This type of learning is called associative learning and it falls into two categories: classical conditioning or operant conditioning. In this blog post, we are going to discuss how your brain learns by identifying which type of learner you are! The first type of learning, classical conditioning, is where a stimulus becomes associated with another unrelated event or memory. The second type of learning, operant conditioning, occurs when an action brings about the outcome that it produces in other situations. Operant-conditioned behaviors are also called “voluntary” because they’re done freely and not as reactions to stimuli. For example: You smell something bad (the stimulus) and you feel sickened by your own reaction. This feeling makes it so that the next time you smell that same odor again (stimulus), then now every time you do there’s a strong negative association for smelling __. So the mere mention of this odour can trigger memories from before which will make us feel sick. There are two types of learning: associative or operant conditioning. Associative-conditioned behaviors result from reactions to stimuli, whereas with operant conditioned ones the behavior is done freely and as a reaction to certain outcomes that it has produced in other situations. For example, you smell something bad (stimulus) and feel sickened by your own reaction; this feeling makes it so every time you do smell __ then there’s a strong negative association for smelling __ which can trigger memories from before making us feel sick upon mentioning this odour again. There are two types of learning: associative or operant conditioning – where associations between events occur due to stimulus response while voluntary behaviours occur because an action brings about the outcome that it produces in other situations.

Learner type is determined by classical conditioning or operant conditioning as well as what they’re conditioned to associate with stimuli such as scents and sights. You may be a different lear
