Question

In your senior year at Jackson High, Coach Brown asks you to go to the equipment room and pick up a package to take to the main office. You've never been on a high school sports team, but you manage to locate the equipment room and pick up the package as requested. According to cognitive learning theory, you are benefiting from _______ learning. A. latent B. tacit C. conscious D. observant

Answer 1

The answer sounds like D, but no promises

Answer 2

Answer:

Letter D is the correct option.

Explanation:

In the given situation, you are a student who is put in an unknown situation, apparently, because you have never been in a sports team. However, it does not mean that you don't have the ability to identify things related to sports: you know what an equipment room looks like, and also how the package could be. Maybe these things were not taught to you specifically, but observant learning means observing other people and then modeling that behavior. In this case, the observed and modeled behavior is nothing else but the fact of going to the required place and accomplish the task just because of previous experience, specially if you are in the senior year, meaning that you know the facilities.
