Best Answer

classical conditioning is when you associate one thing with another and is usually taught by someone else. for instance mothers teach their children to repricate via positive social releaser methods (e.g. Smiling) at which the child will learn to repeat.

An example of a study

Pavlov's dogs- everytime 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.
