Operant conditioning is a learning process where behaviors are influenced by consequences, like rewards or punishments. For example, a dog learns to sit to receive a treat. On the other hand, classical conditioning involves learning by association, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus, eliciting a response, as in Pavlov's experiment where dogs salivated when they heard a bell, associating it with food.

P.S. While I'm a real teacher and I scripted this video, I used an AI voiceover because he's got a far better voice than I do :)
