Answer: classical conditioning focuses involuntary behaviour, operant conditioning focuses on voluntary behaviour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Classical conditioning focuses on involuntary, automatic behaviors ans involves placing a neutral signal before a reflex.

It is a process that involves creating an association between a naturally existing stimulus and a previously neutral one.

Operant conditioning involves applying reinforcement or punishment after a behavior ans it focuses on strengthening or weakening voluntary behaviors.

Operant conditioning focuses on using either reinforcement or punishment to increase or decrease a behavior. Through this process, an association is formed between the behavior and the consequences for that behavior.
