Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Can the behaviour of pressing the lever be explained best through classical conditioning or operant conditioning? Explain. Answer: Operant Conditioning because the rat voluntarily learns to control the light and is not an automatic reflex. (The key word here is “learned”).
Detailed explanation-3: -Have your kids ever cleaned their room, just to avoid your nagging? This is a perfect example of negative reinforcement.
