Baby bobcats watched as their mother stalked a rabbit and pounced, catching a meal that was shared by all. The next day, two of
the young bobcats were seen stalking a field mouse, which easily escaped from the inexperienced hunters. The young bobcats were learning how to hunt by the process of a. imprinting.
b. associative learning.
c. social learning.
d. habituation.
Social learning is demonstrated as the learning that is associated with learning through social or environmental impact. Such learned behavior(new) comes from monitoring and imitating the social behaviors instead of reinforcing a specific behavior.
As per the question, the young bobcats learning to exemplify 'social learning' as they are trying to learn how to hunt by observing their mother while hunting the rabbit and attempting to imitate evokes the newly learned behavior that exemplifies 'social learning'. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
I think that 20% of smokers wanting to quit smoking would be too narrow because that is only 20 people out of 1,000,000 that want to quit smoking versus 90% of people that would lie to quit.
