PAVLOV
 The theory involves classical conditioning which
involves learning to associate an unconditional stimulus
that already brings about a specific response with a new
stimulus.
 This is developed so that new stimulus can bring the
same response. The theory is based on an example (dog).
For instance, psychologist identifies that identifies that
learning is related to unconditioned stimulus which is
already brought particular response with a total
innovative stimulus. Thus, such type of learning is
related to response.
 It says that dog does not need to learn.
 The theory shows direct relationship between
unconditional stimulus and unconditioned response
which exists in behavior.

THORNDIKE
 The theory involves operant
conditioning within behaviorism.
 It has been conducted on cats which and
along with that, an experiment is also
conducted.
 It depicts the law of effect which stated
that any behavior which is followed by
pleasant consequences is likely to
happen on repeated basis.
 However, on the other hand the
behavior that is followed by unpleasant
consequences is likely to be stopped.

SKINNER
 The theory contends that
classical conditioning is far
too simplistic to be a
complete examination of
complex human behavior.
 Hence, the best way to
comprehend behavior is to
look at the causes of an
action and its consequences.
