Learning is a relatively permanent change in an individual's behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions due to experiences. It takes place through various interactions of internal and external events, like motivation, reinforcement, etc. Common types of learning include- 1. learning through association- classical conditioning 2. learning through consequences- operant conditioning 3. learning through imitation- observational learning a) This option is incorrect because imprinting is a behavior shown by specific species such as ducks in which the newborn tends to imprint or attach themselves to the first stimulus, animal, or person it sees and becomes dependent on it for survival.b) This term is incorrect because social learning refers to children learning behaviors through observation and imitation of the behaviors of others in their environment such as parents, relatives, friends, teachers, neighbors, etc.c) This answer is correct because spatial learning is a procedure by which we learn to develop mental frameworks, maps, and representations of the environment around us. In our example, having a mental representation of where the washroom is located in our room, helps us to find it even when there is no light. d) This option is incorrect because, in associative learning, individuals tend to attach a consequence or meaning to a stimulus or behavior. Learning through classical conditioning (the association between a neutral stimulus (which becomes a conditioned stimulus after repeated association with the unconditioned stimulus) and the unconditioned stimulus) and operant conditioning (association of reinforcements or punishments with behavior are examples of individuals learning behavior through association.
