Classical and Operant Conditioning (short paper)

Classical and Operant Conditioning in Your Life:
In class you have been reviewing both classical and operant conditioning as ways that we learn from our environment. Now I want to you use your understanding of both of these modes of learning and apply them to your life.
I would like you to look at your behaviors and notice which ones are classically conditioned and which ones are operantly conditioned. For example, I have learned how to properly load the dishwasher. This learning was operantly conditioned because my husband would reward me with praise when I loaded it correctly and he would punish me with criticism when I loaded it incorrectly.
For this assignment, I would like you to list, and explain three behaviors that you have and explain how the behavior was either classically conditioned or operantly conditioned. Please make sure that your explanations provide enough detail to clearly express why each behaviors is labeled as either classical or operant conditioning.
