Classical vs. Operant Conditioning

Overview:
The field of behaviorism continues to be captive to two main views of how people function and how they are susceptible to change. Furthermore and of interest to us is how counselors use these modalities to help people create change today. I am speaking of the work of Dr. Pavlov (Classical conditioning) and the work of Dr. Skinner (Operant conditioning).

Based on information gathered from your weeks reading and researching peer-reviewed journals formulate a 3
page APA style paper addressing the following:

a. A description of classical and operant conditioning

b. A brief synopsis surrounding the positive and negative attributes of both modalities

c.A detailed exploration of how these modalities still apply to the counseling field today
