How can understanding classical and operant conditioning help us to understand the way we learn? Provide two examples that help illustrate your point.

Understanding how the brain creates relationships and associations is key to being able to improve how much and how efficiently a person can learn. People who can easily learn by example and patterns will most likely fall under a category of Classical Conditioning. Those who need help and guidance to learn will be more Operant Conditioning learners. Once a person knows which category they fit into they can find out what kind of stimulus be it reward or negative/positive reinforcement works best to help them retain knowledge.
