# Behaviorism: Highlights

**Resource person:** Hank Green - Presenter, Crash Course Psychology

**Curated from:** CrashCourse

1. Classical conditioning links two stimuli until one begins to cue a learned response.
2. Operant conditioning changes behaviour through its consequences.
3. Reinforcement raises the likelihood of a behaviour; punishment lowers it.
4. Positive and negative refer to adding and removing a stimulus.
5. A reinforcement schedule changes how quickly a behaviour is acquired and how long it lasts.
6. Effective classroom use begins with an observable behaviour and evidence that it changed.
