All of these statements are true regarding avoidance learning. Avoidance learning involves both classical and operant conditioning. Once avoidance is learned it is very persistent, as the individual learns to associate the avoidance response with the absence of the aversive stimulus. Once the individual avoids the event, they do not receive any information to change their expectancy, which can lead to the persistence of avoidance behavior.
