Answer:

operant and classical conditioning.

Step-by-step explanation:

"An operant conditioning chamber, colloquially known as a Skinner box, is a laboratory tool that was developed in the 1930s by B.F. Skinner. It is used to study free-operant behavior in animals and can be used to model both operant and classical conditioning."
