What is the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning?
Classical conditioning focuses on involuntary responses, while operant conditioning deals with voluntary behaviors.
Operant conditioning is only applicable to animals, whereas classical conditioning is exclusive to humans.
Classical conditioning is based on punishment, while operant conditioning relies on rewards.
