2. There is a mouse inside a cage. Within the cage, there is a light bulb and a lever. You want to teach the mouse to step on th

e lever each time you turn on the light. When the mouse steps on the lever, you give him a treat (but only when the light turns on). After several attempts, the mouse learns that, "When the light turns on, I must step on the lever in order to receive a treat." Was this associative or instrumental learning? Explain. (2 points).

Answer:

Instrumental learning

Explanation:

Associative learning is a form of learning which is performed when two or more events or stimuli controls the learning behaviour. The instrumental learning is a  type of learning in which the learning process is associated with the consequence or result of the action.

In the given question, the mouse learns how to step on the lever as a result of the received food in the form of reward or he learned because he received the treatment, therefore, this act of learning will be considered the instrumental learning.

Thus, Instrumental learning is correct.
