Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elijah's experience with studying and receiving good grades suggests he has developed an association between his behavior (studying) and the outcome (good grades). This is an example of associative learning, which involves making connections between stimuli and responses. While cognitive processes, such as attention and memory, play a role in this type of learning, it does not necessarily involve biological constraints or instinctive drift. Modeling, or learning by observing others' behavior, is also not applicable here as Elijah's good grades are a result of his own studying behavior.
