Classical Conditioning vs Operant Conditioning

 Two of the main differences between the Classical Conditioning and the Operant Conditioning are, firstly, that the former focus on involuntary or automatic behaviours (reflex), and the latter focus on increasing or decreasing voluntary behaviours. Secondly, in Classical Conditioning the neutral stimulus is established before a reflex, and, in Operant Conditioning the punishment or reinforcement is placed after a behaviour.
