AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Also, remember that classical conditioning is passive on the part of the learner, while operant conditioning requires the learner to actively participate and perform some type of action in order to be rewarded or punished.

Detailed explanation-2: -Classical Conditioning is one in which the organism learns something through association, i.e. Conditioned Stimuli and Unconditioned Stimuli. Operant Conditioning is the type of learning in which the organism learns by way of modification in behaviour or pattern through reinforcement or punishment.

Detailed explanation-3: -In classical conditioning, the learner learns the consequences of an action by watching others being rewarded or punished for it. In operant conditioning, the learner simply does what someone else did, regardless of whether that person was rewarded or punished for it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both classical and operant conditioning are forms of associative learning where associations are made between events that occur together.

Detailed explanation-5: -Classical conditioning involves passive learning. The organism can’t choose to participate in the learning process-it happens naturally. Operant conditioning entails active learning, where the organism is required to actively participate in the learning process to be either rewarded or punished.
