Classical conditioning involves the association of two stimuli before a response, while operant conditioning involves a behavior followed by a consequence (reinforcement or punishment). Asking if the individual's behavior determines the situation helps distinguish between the two, as operant conditioning is characterized by the behavior determining the outcome or consequence.
