Question

A. operant conditioning.
B. cognitive learning.
C. classical conditioning.
D. observational learning.

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Classical conditioning is also referred as Pavlovian conditioning and can be defined as a process which in which living beings learn with the help of association and was discovered by Pavlov, a Russian physiologist.

This conditioning links two stimuli with each other to produce a new response, i.e. learned response.

In the case of mice also, two stimuli are linked together thus the case is that of classical conditioning.
