In classical conditioning, behaviors are triggered involuntarily like a reflex in response to a stimulus (e.g., Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell). In operant conditioning, behaviors are under the physical control of the organism, meaning they are voluntary actions that are influenced by their consequences (e.g., a rat pressing a lever to receive food).
