Classic conditioning is a concept created by Pavlov regarding his experiments with dogs. It is the association of an initially neutral stimulus with a significant stimulus. In this way, when the neutral stimulus is presented, in the absence of the other stimulus, a response similar to the one that would occur if the significant stimulus were presented.

Classical conditioning was introduced by the Russian scientist, Ivan Pavlov while Operant conditioning was introduced by the American scientist, B.F Skinner. Compared to operant conditioning, classical conditioning:

a. Involves an association between two stimuli.

Classical conditioning involved the association of a neutral stimulus to an unconditioned stimulus.

Pavlov observed that when a dog continually heard the sound of a bell before mealtime, it soon began associating that neutral stimulus (sound of a bell) to the unconditioned stimuli (the desire for food).

Operant conditioning focuses on the strengthening or punishment of behaviors after they occur.
