How did Skinner think that operant conditioning differs from classical conditioning?
Similarly one may ask, how does operant conditioning differ from classical conditioning?
Both classical conditioning and operant conditioning are processes that lead to learning. Classical conditioning pairs two stimuli, while operant conditioning pairs behavior and response. Also, classical conditioning always works with involuntary responses, while operant conditioning works with voluntary behaviors.
Also to know, what are three ways in which operant conditioning and classical conditioning differ?
~ operant: learning controlled by the consequences of the organisms behavior. punishment/reinforcement. ~classical: forming associations among stimuli.
A) Classical conditioning deals with the conditioning of existing responses to occur to new stimuli, but operant conditioning deals with shaping new behavior by using consequences.
