Classical Conditioning describes is the involuntary or automatic response to a stimulus. Sometimes this is known as respondent conditioning or Pavlovian conditioning as a result of Dr. Pavlov's experimentation with dogs in the early 20th century. Classical conditioning is learning to associate among things meaning that you learn how to link things that go together. Like, when one things happens (you drop your food), another thing will follow shortly (the dog will eat the food). In all the cases, there is an ability to predict the relationship among the events so the animal or you can be able to learn to respond to the first event in anticipationg of the second event.
Operant conditioning is a set of principles showing how to learn to survive in an environment through consequences. In other words, learning the behaviors that are altered by the consequences that follow them.

Ivan Pavlov
Pavlov believed in behaviorism. He studied reflexes and named it as conditioning. He often used animals in his experiments and used dogs to demonstrate classical conditioning
John B. Watson
Otherwise known as the "Father of Bahaviorism". He publicized bahaviourism as a study of relations between environmental events and human behaviour. This became the dominant psychology during the 1920s to 1930s in America.
