Operant Conditioning vrs Classical Conditioning

Operant Conditioning and Classical Conditioning are both very different ways to modify or reinforce a certain behavior. I personally believe Operant Conditioning is a better method, trough operant conditioning reinforcment and punishments is used and in many cases this not only punishes bad behavior but helps explain what was done incorrectly. In operant conditioning reinforcers act as incentives for learning. While Classical Conditioning does not provide incentives. On the other hand Classical Conditioning changes an unconditioned response with a condtioned stimuli. A very good example of this is Ivan Pavolv's famous experiment. In his experiment he teached a baby to associate a sound with white furry things and fear. Both of this conditionings involve learning assocition and can both obtain succesful results if used wisely.
