If the organism is learning association between its behaviour and the resulting events, it is operant conditioning: eg. A seal balances a ball, it receives a fish, it balances the ball more. If the organism us learning associations between events that it does not control, it is classical conditioning: eg. Lightening + thunder we see lightening, we wince anticipating thunder. Operant conditioning and classical conditioning are both forms of associative learning. Classical conditioning: organisms form associations between stimuli- cs and us. It involves automatic reactions to stimuli (respondent behaviour: stimulus precedes the response and elicits it.
