In what way does operant conditioning differ from classical conditioning? A. In classical conditioning, the consequence arrives regardless of the animal's behavior, while, in operant conditioning, it only arrives once the animal has made a response. B. In classical conditioning, learning is fastest during the early trials, while, in operant conditioning, learning is fastest during the later trials. C. Classical conditioning can be used to train animals to make responses they would not normally make; operant conditioning cannot be used to do this. D. Extinction occurs in classical conditioning but not in operant conditioning.

Answer: the correct answer is A. In classical conditioning, the consequence arrives regardless of the animal's behavior, while, in operant conditioning, it only arrives once the animal has made a response.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning. (also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning) refers to a learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e. g. food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e. g. a bell).

Operant conditioning is also a learning procedure but in this case the animal has to operate something (e. g. a buttom) to obtain something.
