The correct answer is B. The plastic bottles they use cause pollution

Explanation:

An unintended consequence refers to an effect or result from an action or another event that is unexpected or that was not unforeseen. Additionally, this consequence can be positive or an unexpected benefit or negative or an unexpected drawback that can occur along with positive expected benefits. This means in the case of people that drink more water every day a positive benefit can be that they can live longer, prevent certain illnesses or feel better and the unintended consequence would be "The plastic bottles they use cause pollution" because this effect is negative and it is not expected by those who drink water; however it can happen as most people buy bottles of water to get water and therefore if more people drink water more bottles would be bought and these lead to pollution.

The focus of classical and operant conditioning is on _____; the focus of the cognitive learning approach is on _____.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The focus of classical and operant conditioning is on external stimuli, responses and reinforcement; the focus of the cognitive learning approach is on internal thoughts and expectations of learning.

Explanation:

Classical and operant conditioning focus on the observable, such as <em>conducts and behaviors</em> the individual carries out. Both conditioning types try to produce a specific behavior on the individual through <em>stimulus, responses and reinforcement. </em>

Meanwhile, the cognitive learning approach, as the name states, focuses on the individual's cognition, meaning <em>its internal functions and processes,</em> saying there's more to the individual than what is observable. It focuses on one's <em>expectations</em> regarding learning.
