Explanation:

Question 21

Bandura's Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children learn aggressive behavior through observing others, which is the core of social learning theory. Classical conditioning (Pavlov) involves association of stimuli, operant conditioning (Skinner) is about rewards/punishments, cognitive maps (Tolman) are about spatial learning, and reinforced learning is related to operant. So the correct association is social learning.

Latent learning is learning that occurs but is not demonstrated until a later time when there is a reason to use it. Elephants learn protective behaviors young but use them as adults, fitting latent learning. Insight is sudden problem - solving, cognitive maps are spatial, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation relate to drive, not delayed use of learned behavior.

Implicit memory is unconscious, procedural (like tying shoes, using fork/knife, starting car, riding bike) or priming. The memory of how exciting a birthday present was is explicit (declarative) as it's a conscious recollection of an event and emotion, not implicit.

Answer:

a. social learning
