They're both essentially the same BUT...

In standard braking, when you step on the brake-pedal, the brake shoes grip the wheel until you take your foot off.

With anti-lock brakes there is a small 'computer' which applies and releases the brakes many times a second while your pressing the pedal. This 'apply and release' happens so fast, the driver doesn't notice anything different.
