The differences and similarities between Classical and Operant Conditioning German edition

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Lernpsychologie, Intelligenzforschung, Note: 2, University of Ghana, Legon, Veranstaltung: Psychology - Learning, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Human behaviour is influenced by learning to a great extent. But the term learning does not describe a specific method of gaining knowledge because learning can occur in various ways. Two of these ways often mentioned in psychology are classical and operant conditioning. To understand how each of these behaviour modification techniques can be used, it is critical to compare and understand their differences and similarities. Even if both types of conditioning result in learning the processes of achieving this goal is not the same.
