Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Little Julie is observing Dora the Explorer and learning by observation, which is a form of observational learning. She is not being directly reinforced, which rules out operant conditioning, and there are no stimuli being paired together to elicit a conditioned response, ruling out classical conditioning. Associative learning is a broader term that can encompass different types of learning, but observational learning is a more specific type that fits this scenario.
