Explanation
The learning process described would best be labeled classical conditioning because Marva’s children have come to associate the sound of a car door slamming and their mother’s screaming. Instrumental learning and operant conditioning are similar in that they involve learning to pair a consequence with a behavior. Observational learning, or modeling, is learning via observation and imitation. Latent learning is learning that is not evidenced until a reward is offered.
