Abstract
This paper presents learning theory of conditioning. According to conditioning theory, learning is a process of change that occurs because of the conditions which then cause a reaction. To make that person study, we must give certain conditions. The most important thing in learning according to conditioning theory is continuous practice. Priority in this theory is learning that occurs automatically. This theory says that all human behavior is also the result of conditioning, that is the result of training or habit of reacting to certain conditions or stimuli experienced in life. The weakness of this theory is that learning only happens automatically and activeness and personal determination in certain learning such as learning about certain skills and habituation in young children.
