Question

Tina is a 7-year-old girl who frequently witnesses her father's anger and physically abusive acts on her mother. Later, when she's in her room playing with her toys, she begins to yell at them and hit them for "being so stupid and not having dinner ready." Her behavior is a clear example of:_______ a) classical learning. b) reinforced learning. c) observational learning. d) observational conditioning.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is c) observational learning.

Explanation:

Observational learning occurs through observation and imitation. It is particularily common in children, who may consciously or unconsciously reproduce the behaviours they observe in a model.

Observational learning also takes place in adult age. It is more prominent in procedural tasks, as for example, learning to play an instrument.
