What is classic conditioning and operant conditioning?

I assume that your question means what is the difference between classical and operant conditioning. In classical conditioning the organism being conditioned is essentially passive. The environment triggers a response in the organism. The simplest example of this is Pavlov’s dogs. (Check this out for yourself on the internet or a psychology text book to make sure you understand what this means) In operatant conditioning the organism actively operates on the world and receives the reinforcer though its own actions. The simplest example of this is Skinner’s Box. (Again check it out for yourself as the difference is important and subtle and it helps to understand the difference and not just know the difference.
