Unit 4 Test

What is the main difference between operant conditioning and classical conditioning?

• Operant conditioning focuses on involuntary behaviors, while classical conditioning focuses on voluntary behaviors.

• Operant conditioning focuses on the timing of behavior, while classical conditioning focuses on the intensity of stimuli.

• Operant conditioning focuses on consequences of behavior, while classical conditioning focuses on association between stimuli.

• Operant conditioning focuses on the individual's internal state, while classical conditioning focuses on external factors.
