9、nishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother“s face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion. The second kind of learning is called “operant( 动作的 )cond
10、itioning.“ This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments.
