The research gathered in this study examines the similarities and differences between classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning consists of four identifying elements, the unconditioned stimulus (US), unconditioned response (UCR), conditioned stimulus (CS) and the conditioned response (CR). Conditioning is achieved by manipulating reflexes. Operant conditioning relies on the use of reinforcement and punishment and deals with the cognitive thought process. Similarities between classical and operant conditioning include reinforcement, extinction, generalization, discrimination and spontaneous recovery. One way in which both learning forms differ lie in the extent to which reinforcement depends on the behavior of the learner. All organisms implement both forms of learning even if they are unaware of the process they are taking part in.
