Comparing Classical and Operant Conditioning
Type of behavior
Source of behavior
Basis of learning
Responses conditioned
Extinction process
Cognitive aspects
Biological predispositions
Classical Conditioning
Reflexive, involuntary behaviors
Elicited by stimulus
Associating two stimuli: CS + DCS
Physiological and emotional responses
Conditioned response decreaseswhen conditioned stimulus isrepeatedly presented alone
Expectation that CS reliablypredicts the UCS
Innate predispositions influence how easilyan association is formed between a particularstimulus and response
Operant Conditioning
Nonreflexive, voluntary behaviors
Emitted by organism
Associating a response and theconsequence that follows it
Active behaviors that operate onthe environment
Responding decreases withelimination of reinforcingconsequences
Performance of behaviorinfluenced by the expectationof reinforcement or punishment
Behaviors similar to natural orinstinctive behaviors are morereadily conditioned
