Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning involves associating an involuntary response and a stimulus, while operant conditioning is about associating a voluntary behavior and a consequence. In operant conditioning, the learner is also rewarded with incentives, 5 while classical conditioning involves no such enticements.
Detailed explanation-2: -In classical conditioning, the stimulus comes before the behavior to develop a relationship between the two. In operant conditioning, the behavior comes first and the negative or positive reinforcement comes after.
Detailed explanation-3: -On the other extreme, operant conditioning is one that is based on voluntary behaviour, i.e. active responses of the organism. In classical conditioning, the responses of the organism, are under the control of the stimulus, whereas in operant conditioning, the responses are controlled by the organism.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the main difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning? Classical conditioning requires learning that two events are related, whereas operant conditioning demonstrates that behavior leads to a consequence.
