Compare and contrast classical and operant conditioning

What will be an ideal response?


Classical conditioning involves reflex behavior and the elements of CS, UCS, UCR and CR. The pairing of the CS serves a cue function that the UCS is coming; UCS elicits the UCR. Many spontaneous behaviors occur without first being elicited by the UCS. Operant conditioning involves such a behavior being strengthened by its consequences through reinforcement and punishment.
