Question

Classical conditioning is the study of behaviors that are _____, whereas operant conditioning studies behaviors that are _____. voluntary; involuntary active; reactive reactive; active inactive; reactive

Answer 1

The answer is reactive; active. Although a basic feature of operant conditioning is support or reinforcement, classical conditioning relies more on link between stimuli and responses which makes it reactive. A second difference is that much of operant conditioning is based on voluntary and active behavior, while classical conditioning often comprises involuntary and reactive reflexive behavior.
