When straightening the elbow, biceps relax, triceps contract

What is the BIGGEST difference between learned behavior and innate behavior?

Innate behavior is known by yourself without prior experience, while learned behavior is obtained from practice and experience

Innate behavior always stays exactly the same, while learned behavior can change

Innate behavior helps survival, while learned behavior does not

Innate behavior cannot be inherited, while learned behavior can

What is the difference between operant conditioning and classical conditioning?

Classical conditioning is a new stimulus is associated with a pre-existing response through repeat pairing of new and previously known stimuli, while operant conditioning is learning to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior

Classical conditioning is only useful for humans, while operant conditioning can be used for all animals

Classical conditioning is associated only with reward, while operant conditioning is associated only with punishment

Classical conditioning is discovered by an American, while operant conditioning is discovered by a Russian
