Classical and Operant conditioning differ from each other in three primary ways:
Classical conditioning involves an association between two stimuli, such as a tone
and food. In contrast operant conditioning involves an association between a response
and the resulting consequences, such a studying hard and getting an A.
Classical conditioning usually involves reflexive, involuntary behaviors that are
controlled by the spinal cord or autonomic nervous system. These include fear
responses salivation, and other involuntary behaviors. Operant conditioning on the
other hand, usually involves more complicated voluntary behaviors, which are
mediated by the somatic nervous system.
The most important difference concerns the way in which the stimulus that makes
conditioning happen is presented (as the unconditioned stimulus, or UCS, in
classical conditioning or the reinforcing stimulus in operant conditioning). In
classical conditioning the UCS is paired with the conditioned stimulus(CS)
independent of the individuals behavior. The individual does not have to do anything
for either the CS or UCS to be presented. In operant conditioning, however, the
reinforcing consequence occurs only if the response being conditioned has just been
emitted; that is the reinforcing consequence is contingent on the occurrence of the
response.

5. Even when punishment is effective in
suppressing an inappropriate behavior, it does
not teach the individual how to act more
appropriately. Punishment used by itself may
be self-defeating, it may suppress one
inappropriate behavior only to be replaced by
another one. It is not only until appropriate
behaviors are taught to the individual to
replace the inappropriate ones that any
progress can be made.
