- Rescorla-Wagner (1972) and subsequent temporal-difference RL theory showed both can be unified within prediction-error framework: in classical conditioning, the prediction is about what stimulus will appear (CS predicts US); in operant conditioning, the prediction is about what outcome will follow a response (action predicts reinforcer).
