It's better to look at the terms 'operant' and 'classical' as
denoting functions
Don't almost all real learning situations involve aspect of both operant and
classical conditioning?
That's what I was trying to say.
Thanks for a good example.
In my sports psychology class I try to get students
to analyze most learning situations from both perspectives. For example
coaches who constantly yell at their players are effective at developing
conditioned fear reactions so their players play at a higher level of arousal
or intensity (CC). Most players however also find this punishing and will
often learn/chose to avoid the sport, which results in a high drop out rate
for this type of coach (OC).
