• law of effect: Responses to stimuli that produce a satisfying or pleasant state of affairs in a particular situation are more likely to occur again in the situation.

• Learning is any relatively permanent change in behaviour produced by an experience
  

• Classical and Operant conditioning are two of several theories on learning which take the behaviourist approach.
