@tondabenge Try bringing your questions here! What, specifically, are you struggling to understand?
Here are a few memory tricks to help keep them straight:
????Classical conditioning works on emotional, visceral and automatic responses. Think of how listening to Mozart makes you calmer/more focused without any “doing” on your part. Classical= emotional.
????Operant conditioning is choice-based behavior with the expectation of a certain consequence. The “operant” is the individual choosing the behavior. Think of a rat in the box, pushing a lever – he is operating the lever, therefore he is the operant.
