Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operant conditioning involves using rewards and punishments to modify behavior. In this scenario, the individual is rewarding behaviors they like and punishing behaviors they do not like in an effort to change their roommate's behavior. This is an example of operant conditioning. Latent learning involves learning that is not immediately expressed, cognitive learning involves learning through mental processes, and classical conditioning involves learning through association between two stimuli. None of these apply to the scenario presented.
