The difference between classical and operant conditioning | Peggy Andover | TED-Ed Animation

In this TED-Ed animation on motivation and learning, lesson creator Peggy Andover explores “The difference between classical and operant conditioning.” Andover explains how the brain can associate unrelated stimuli and responses, proved by Ivan Pavlov’s famous 1890 experiments. Almost everything we do is influenced by this conditioning, says Andover, regardless of whether our behavior is influenced by positive or negative feedback. This animation includes several examples of operant and classical conditioning that will offer deeper insight into your own behavior and the actions of others.
