Verified
An organism learns associations between events it does not control during the process of
A) negative reinforcement.
B) spontaneous recovery.
C) classical conditioning.
D) shaping.
Classical Conditioning
A learning strategy that consists of continuously pairing two stimuli; the reaction that is at the beginning evoked by the second stimulus, is eventually evoked by the first stimulus singularly.
Negative Reinforcement
A process in behavior modification where the removal of an undesirable or unpleasant stimulus strengthens or increases the likelihood of a behavior.
Spontaneous Recovery
The reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of lessened response.
- Investigate the significance of classical conditioning in the context of associative learning and its interplay with operant conditioning.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Classical conditioning is the process by which an organism learns associations between events that it does not control, such as when a dog learns to associate the sound of a bell with the arrival of food. Negative reinforcement involves strengthening a behavior by removing an aversive stimulus, while shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior. Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a previously extinguished response after a period of time has passed.
