Question

Compared with apartment dwellers whose landlords pay their electricity costs, those apartment dwellers who pay their own electric bills use less electricity. this most clearly illustrates that consumer electricity usage is influenced by select one:
a. latent learning.
b. operant conditioning.
c. observational learning.
d. spontaneous recovery.
e. classical conditioning. check

Answer 1

Most likely operant conditioning, particularly involving positive reinforcement. Operant conditioning uses environmental stimuli to condition the tenants' behavior to save energy since they themselves will be rewarded with lower bills by doing so. Classical conditioning relies on stimulating reflex behavior, which is not the case in the given statement.
