Explanation: 

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Classical conditioning focuses on stimuli and responses, reflective responses, and what happens before a response, while operant conditioning focuses on behaviors and consequences, voluntary behaviors and what happens after responses have occurred.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
