Key aspects:
- Behavioral learning encompasses both involuntary responses (classical conditioning) and voluntary behaviors (operant conditioning)
- Classical conditioning concepts and examples demonstrate how neutral stimuli become associated with natural responses
- Learning schedules and reinforcement types play crucial roles in behavior modification
- Social learning theory extends behavioral principles to observational learning
- Conditioned taste aversion represents a unique form of rapid learning
