Classical and Operant Conditioning There are two main explanations of
how organisms learn. The first explanation is known as classical
conditioning. The second explanation is known as operant conditioning. ... Classical conditioning was discovered
by Iran Petrovich Pavlov. ...
Classical conditioning can be exemplified in the home, school, and
school. ... Operant
conditioning is an organisms learning an association between how it
behaves and what happens as a result of that behavior (Gazzaniga 244).
There are some differences between classical and operant conditioning.
First, the operant response has to occur completely spontaneously. In
classical conditioning the conditioned response is drawn from an
organism. In operant conditioning the response is delivered by the
organism which then awaits the consequences. Second, in classical
conditioning the conditioned response is usually a "very well- defined
muscular movement or glandular response" (244). In operant conditioning
the response is a set of actions that bring about an essentially equal
result. Third, in classical conditioning reinforcement is dictated by
the scientist or instructor. In operant conditioning reinforcement is
dictated by the organism (245).
