Learning is any relatively permanent change in behavior that is not innate; it occurs as a result of experience. Operant conditioning contends that people learn a behavior to get something they want or to avoid something they don't want. The tendency to repeat learned behavior is influenced by the reinforcement or lack of reinforcement that happens as a result of the behavior.

For example, when a sales manager knocks herself out to exceed all previous sales totals in a successful sales drive, she might receive reinforcement from a variety of places: praise from her boss, recognition from the corporation, a promotion, a bonus, admiration from colleagues–all of which strengthen and fortify the notion for the manager to put in extra work. The manager learned from her experience that extra effort pays off.
