Editing Operant conditioning (section)

=== Biological Basis ===
Operant conditioning bridges the field of neurobiology and the field of psychology. It’s able to do this by demonstrating how exterior behavioral principles correspond with internal processes. While psychologist describe learning in terms of observable behaviors that can be shaped by consequences, neurobiologist share a different sentiment. neurobiologist analyze how these behaviors are underpinned by neural circuits. 

Both positive and negative reinforcement has been shown to activate a reward system in the brain. this is able to take place because of the release of dopamine in specific areas such as the nucleus accumbens. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Staddon |first=J.
