22. A young child is constantly climbing on a bookcase that is very tall, and his mother is worried he'll pull the bookcase down on himself. She knows he is allergic to the smell of perfume, so she sprays it any time he's near the bookshelf. Now he shakes his head and rubs his eyes when he's near the bookshelf and goes to another part of the room. Which type of learning has been used on this child? Operant Conditioning b Classical Conditioning Social Observational Learning theory d. Psychoanalytical theory
The type of learning used on this child is classical conditioning. In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus (perfume smell) is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus (climbing on the bookcase), which leads to a conditioned response (shaking head and rubbing eyes) in response to the neutral stimulus alone.
