Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct classification of major types of learning is associative learning, which includes classical and operant conditioning, and non-associative learning, which includes habituation and sensitization. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly classifies sensitization as a type of classical conditioning. Option B is incomplete as it only includes classical and operant conditioning. Option C is incorrect because desensitization is not a type of learning, but rather a process that can occur as a result of habituation or classical conditioning.
