Distinguish between classical conditioning and operant conditioning?
Answer:
Classical is basically Pavlov's experiment with the dog. He rung a bell every time he fed the dog and eventually it got to a point whereby, if the dog heard the bell, its digestive juices would automatically get going without the need of food being in front.
Operant conditioning examples are stuff like, giving a newborn baby a sugary "reward" every time the baby moves its head to the left. Eventually the baby learns that turning te head to the left is something that will be rewarded.
Basically, Operant conditioning is training a subject to do something voluntarily. It is in effect modifying behaviour.
Classical conditioning is training a subject to associate an something to a situation, just as the dog learnt to associate the bell to feeding time. It is different since the subject isn't trained to do something voluntarily as in Operant conditioning using positive reinforcement.
