It is very likely that you learned how to turn on the TV and change channels as a young child without your parents ever specifically teaching you to do so.In fact,your parents likely maintained control over the TV.In this case,how did your learning occur

A)  through operant conditioning
B)  through negative modelling 
C)  through observational learning
D)  through classical conditioning

Observational Learning

A type of learning that occurs through observing the actions of others, understanding the consequences, and mimicking or avoiding the behavior accordingly.

Operant Conditioning

A system of training where the force of a behavior is changed through reward or punishment.

Change Channels

The action of switching or modifying pathways or methods, often used in the context of media consumption or management strategies.

  • Discern and compare various learning approaches like operant conditioning, observational learning, and escape learning.
  • Describe the impact of observational learning and modeling on behavior.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The learning in this scenario most likely occurred through observational learning, where a child observes the behaviors of their parents and mimics them without explicit instruction. This is supported by the fact that the parents maintained control over the TV and likely modeled how to turn it on and change channels. Operant conditioning, negative modeling, and classical conditioning are not the most likely explanations for this type of learning.
