Also known as operant conditioning.
Operant behavior "operates" on the environment and is maintained by its consequences.
Basically what this says is that learning is contingent upon the consequences of our behaviour.
The consequences will either reinforce our behaviour, so making it more likely we will perform that behaviour in the future, or punish our behaviour, making it less like we will perform that behaviour in the future.
