I can't even remember if you can use punishment in Operant Conditioning, or if it's just supposed to be positive reinforcement. I've got a brochure due tomorrow for psych class on using Operant Conditioning to get your children to eat their vegetables. lol Anyone care to help me out and tell me if you can, or if you can only use punishment in Classical Conditioning?

Just positive.
I believe Classical is where negative reinforcement is permitted.

Classical doesn't have to be negative. Pavlov's dogs is an example of classical conditioning, one with a neutral stimulus (bell).
Operant conditioning is just the use of a consequence to cause a specific effect or behaviour. It can be both positive and negative.

operant can be both i have the booklet in front of me
its says learning by reinforcement it occurs with voluntary behaviour.
reinforcemtn makes behaviour more likely to occur and punishment makes behaviour less likelyto occur.
but you can also use classical
