THE "CCOC"

classical conditioning vs. operant conditioning

Classical conditioning

-         The learning process occurs when a new stimulus begins to produce and modify the similar behaviour produced by the original stimulus.

-          Classical conditioning refers to an involuntary response to a specific stimulus. For example, a girl starts salivating when she heard ice-cream’s bell.

Operant conditioning

-         It is also called as Instrumental Conditioning, where it takes place as the result of what happens after the response is made.

-         In operant conditioning, the response can be controlled. For example, a student studies very hard to achieve dean’s list so that his father gives him a new car.

-         Require either reinforcement or punishment to get the result.

Below are some verses in the Holy Quran about these conditioning. Open your Quran please to get the Arabic verses. Seem like these could be your operant conditioning. Think. ^______^

“Thy Lord doth know that Thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. but Allah doth appoint night and Day In due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. so He hath turned to you (in Mercy): read ye, Therefore, of the Qur'an As much As may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (Some) among you In ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah.s bounty; yet others Fighting In Allah.s Cause, read ye, Therefore, As much of the Qur'an As may be easy (for you); and establish regular prayer and give regular charity; and loan to Allah a beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it In Allah.s Presence,- yea, better and greater, In reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah. For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” (al-Muzammil, 73:20)

“And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe'.” (Ibrahim, 14:7)

“Say you, 'undoubtedly, my Lord expands provision for which He pleases of His bondmen and straitens for whom He pleases.' And whatever you spend in the way of Allah, He will recompense you with more. And He is the best of the providers.'” (Saba’, 34:39)
