classical conditioning is where a participant learns to associate a stimulus with food that doesn't result in an overt behavioral response whereas operant is where a participant learns by reinforcement of consequences of a behaviour.

1. Both involve learning of associations 2. Responses are under the control of stimuli in the environment 3. Neither will last forever if not reinforced 4. New behaviors can build on previously established ones

Classical conditioning is learning that happens when a conditioned stimulus is put together with an unconditioned stimulus. Operant Conditioning is learning where a persons behavior is changed by the antecedents and consequences.

Classical conditioning is when you associate one thing with another and is usually taught by someone else. for instance mothers teach their children to replicate via positive social releaser methods (e.g. Smiling) at which the child will learn to repeat.
An example of a study
Pavlov's dogs- every time Pavlov would feed his dog he would ring a bell. after a period of time the dog learn to associate the ringing of the bell with feeding time. Even when it wasn't time for food Pavlov would ring the bell and the dog would come and salivate( thinks it is dinner time) this is because the dog has learnt to associate the ringing of the bell with feeding time.
Operant conditioning you teach yourself and is through trial and error or through rewards.
An example of a study
Skinner's rats- skinner had some rats in a cage at which he never fed. after a while the rat discovered a button in the cage, when it pressed it food came out and into the cage. the rat had learnt to press the button in order to get food so would do so every time it was to be fed.
I hope i have helped you :)

Generally, classical conditioning is reflexive whereas operant conditioning is voluntary. For example, the dog in Ivan Pavlov's experiement started to salivate to the conditioned stimulus (food dish). The salivation to the food dish is something that has become automatic for the dog (reflexive). On the other hand, operant conditioning is voluntary. An action is learned through positive/negative reinforcements and punishments. A typical example is a child who voluntarily chooses to do their homework because (s)he know that by doing so, it will make his or her parents to stop nagging (negative reinforcement).

Classical conditioning is this learning through natural and neutral stimulas .russian scientist evan pavlov 1st iontroduce this and other side this operant conditioning learnings develope through organism related to particular behaviour with its consequence .BF Skinner father of this theory.

Ruth got a job working at the local Baskin & Robbins. Her Manager said she could eat all the Ice Cream she wanted. On her first day of work, Ruth ate 2 bowls of every flavor; that night Ruth was sick with an upset stomach. Ruth still works at the Baskin & Robbins, but now she doesn’t eat there. Classical or Operant? Diagram the learning.

Compare and contrast operant and classical conditioning?

Classical conditioning is best known by Pavlov's dogs. This type of conditioning takes a neutral stimulus and makes a person or animal respond to it. Operant conditioning uses punishment to get a behavior to stop.

How is fear conditioning accomplished?

There is no "fear conditioning"; rather, fear can become a conditioned response via Classical conditioning (Pavlov) or Operant Conditioning (B.F. Skinner).


Why classical conditioning is called classical?

Probably because it was the first kind of conditioning to be demonstrated and studied. See Pavlov As eluded to above, classical conditioning is called such because it was the first kind of conditioning to be studied and demonstrated. However, the term "classical" also is used to differentiate this type of conditioning from "Operant Conditioning" which was first demonstrated by B.F. Skinner.


What is the best way to differentiate operant conditioning from classical conditioning?

I think... With classical conditioning, the conditional stimulus is presented before the unconditional stimulus to form a conditioned response. For example, training a dog to return when a whistle is blown. With operant conditioning, reinforcement is presented after the response. For example, rewards (positive reinforcement) are given for good behaviour. Punishment (negative reinforcement) for bad. Hope this helps... Classical conditioning was discovered accidentally by Pavlov.


How is prejudice developed through operant conditioning?

Classical conditioning involves associative learning so prejudice can develop from observing prejudicial judgments. Operant conditioning involves neural responses so individuals start to form opinions about groups based on their observations.
