Is classical and operant conditioning still practiced today?
Conditioning is still practiced today. For example, operant conditioning, which includes the use of reinforcement to increase the probability of apparition of behaviour, is commonly used in day to day life. A good example for this are fidelity cards or membership cards that give you points or some sort of credit to be later used when you buy in certain stores. Those are made to increase the probability of you spending there. Positive reinforcement is also used in different types of settings and of interventions, such as in psychiatric hospitals, with children with behavioural problems, etc.
