In psychology, conditioning is a process whereby a response becomes predictable as a result of reinforcement. Reinforcement refers to a stimulus, a reward or a punishment. When this stimulus, punishment or reward is applied regularly, it tends to be more effective, as it strengthens the association between the consequence and the behaviour in the subject's mind.
