Key Difference in Learning Theories
Q. Which theory focused on the process of learning through association in which two events that occur closely together in time become associated?
Associative learning refers to classic conditioning in which individuals learn an association between an unconditioned and conditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response.

Q. What is the process of learning associations between environmental events and behavioral responses?
conditioning The process of learning associations between environmental events and behavioral responses. learning A process that produces a relatively enduring change in behavior or knowledge as a result of past experience.
| Classical Conditioning | Operant Conditioning | Social Learning |
|---|---|---|
| Focuses on automatic, naturally occurring behaviors | Focuses on voluntary behaviors | Focuses on the give-and-take interaction between social, cognitive, and environmental influences |
Q. What is the process of learning associations?
Associative learning, in animal behaviour, any learning process in which a new response becomes associated with a particular stimulus. In its broadest sense, the term has been used to describe virtually all learning except simple habituation (q.v.).
Q. Which of the following is an example of an unconditioned response?
Some more examples of unconditioned responses include: Gasping in pain after being stung by a bee. Jerking your hand back after touching a hot plate on the oven. Jumping at the sound of a loud noise.
Q. Which of the following is an example of a conditioned emotional response?
For example, if seeing a dog (a neutral stimulus) is paired with the pain of being bitten by the dog (unconditioned stimulus), seeing a dog may become a conditioned stimulus that elicits fear (conditioned response).
Q. Which of the following is an example of a conditioned response?
For example, the smell of food is an unconditioned stimulus, a feeling of hunger in response to the smell is an unconditioned response, and the sound of a whistle when you smell the food is the conditioned stimulus. The conditioned response would be feeling hungry when you heard the sound of the whistle.
