Running head: DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN CLASSICAL AND OPERANT CONDITIONING
Abstract
There are many differences between classical and operant conditioning that will be discussed in this paper. These two types of conditioning are often misinterpreted by many individuals; therefore, it is important to distinguish the two. Learning the different ways animals function and the new behaviors they adapt to are of interest to both Ivan Pavlov and Edward Thorndike. .Sex differences are measured and taken in consideration in both kinds of conditioning processes.
Males and females learn and remember differently at different times of their life. Through reinforcement, participants are able to understand what kind of behavior is rewarded for or punished for. Classical and operant conditioning fall under the social learning theory where individuals’ expressions are shown and depicted. In other words, the individual differences are evident and easily measured.

The Distinction between Classical and Operant Conditioning
Behavioral psychology is a scientific approach that measures observable behavior that focuses on both classical and operant conditioning. This results in learning, although the processes are different. They share the same goal, intending to reinforce learning. Classical and operant conditioning are different in several ways such as: the psychologist who founded the type of conditioning, applying reinforcement before or after a behavior, and whether or not the behaviors were voluntary or involuntary. How do classical and operant conditioning relate to learning? Why are these types of conditioning important today? Do they have an impact on our society today?
First and foremost, in classical conditioning,
