1. Behaviour
In this type of
conditioning the
behaviour is
involuntary. I.e.
individuals respond
willfully in particular
conditions to gain
something or prevent
loses.
2. Reinforcement
In classical
conditioning theory an
individual is
automatically
reinforced. i.e. it
gradually learns to
respond to a certain
stimulus by continuous
exposure.
In operant conditioning,
the learner must provide
a correct response in
order to receive the
reinforcement. E.g.: an
individual in the office
will only receive a
promotion if he
performs well.
