Operant conditioning is a type of conditioning where we learn something because it is immediately followed by a pleasant effect. That pleasant effect is sometimes a direct reward. For example, an animal might learn to press a lever to avoid getting shocked; or a schoolgirl might do her homework purely to avoid getting into trouble the next day. This is my understanding of operant conditioning. Hope it helped in any way.

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.

What is an advantage of using operant condition in treating undersirable behaviors?
There are a number of benefits of operant conditioning. The most obvious one is in education. As operant conditioning is used to assist learning and the development of some behaviours, it can be used as rewards to encourage good work or punishment to discourage bad work. Another main benefit is in therapeutic work. If someone is alcoholic, for instance, then certain medications can be given that make them feel nauseous when drinking alcohol. This operant conditioning helps to discourage the behaviour of drinking alcohol.
