Detailed explanation-1: -Classical and operant conditioning are both similar because they involve making association between behaviour and events in an organism’s environment and are governed by several general laws of association-for example, it is easier to associate stimuli that are similar to each other and that occur at similar times.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is that classical conditioning associates involuntary behavior with a stimulus while operant conditioning associates voluntary action with a consequence. Classical and operant conditioning are two central concepts in behavioral psychology.
Detailed explanation-3: -In operant conditioning, a person pairs his/her own behavior with the consequences of that behavior (Kandel et al., 2000). Classical conditioning is a simple form of associative learning, where the behavioral response is modified by conditioned stimulus.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both classical and operant conditioning are forms of associative learning where associations are made between events that occur together. Observational learning is just as it sounds: learning by observing others.
Detailed explanation-5: -Classical and operant conditioning are usually studied separately. But outside of the laboratory they almost always occur at the same time.
