Compare Classical and Operant Conditioning

In Classical conditioning you are trying to increase the probability of a response to a certain conditioned stimulus by using a conditioned stimulus followed by the unconditioned stimulus that already produces a certain unconditioned response. On the other hand, in Operant conditioning you use a stimulus after the response in order to reinforce the conditioned stimulus that comes before the response. These two types of conditioning are similar in the fact that they both try to increase the probability that a certain response occurs. The biggest difference in the two types of conditioning is that operant conditioning uses a reinforcer or a punishment to determine the likely hood of a certain response; however, classical conditioning does not involve any consequences to the unconditioned response.
