A,) how latent learning is involved in classical conditioning.
B.)the role of observational learning.
C.) the use of cognitive maps in learning.
D.) the role of cognitive processes in conditioning.

Answer 1

Answer:

A). how latent learning is involved in classical conditioning.

Explanation:

The given situation illustrates the significance of 'latent learning' and the role it plays in instilling manners and behaviors in someone. In the given situation, the dog receives the training on daily basis but does not display his learning through an overt response but rather displays it when he feels an incentive. He manifests his learning when he receives adequate situation or motivation to display it which led him to sit on his own(conditioned response without any reinforcement). Thus, option A is the correct answer.
