question 6 multiple choice question
a great deal of learning among humans and other animals comes from ____________, the process of watching others and then imitating what they do.
dissociative learning
innate learning
observational learning
associative learning

Explanation:

First Question (Partial Reinforcement Schedule)

To determine the correct partial reinforcement schedule:

• Variable - interval: Reinforcement is based on a variable time interval, not a set number of responses.
• Variable - ratio: Reinforcement is after a variable number of responses, not a set number.
• Fixed - ratio: By definition, behavior is reinforced after a set (fixed) number of responses.
• Fixed - interval: Reinforcement is based on a fixed time interval, not a set number of responses.

To identify the correct learning process:

• Dissociative learning: Not related to watching and imitating others.
• Innate learning: Refers to in - born or instinctual learning, not learning by watching others.
• Observational learning: Is defined as the process of learning by watching others and then imitating their behavior.
• Associative learning: Involves learning associations between stimuli and responses (like classical or operant conditioning), not imitation through observation.

Answer:

C. Fixed - ratio
