This scenario illustrates operant conditioning because the behavior (wearing a particular tie) is influenced by the consequence (being laughed at). Specifically, the negative consequence serves as a punishment, decreasing the likelihood of repeating the behavior (wearing the same tie). Classical conditioning and respondent conditioning involve the pairing of stimuli to elicit a reflexive response, which is not demonstrated in this scenario. Latent learning refers to acquiring knowledge or skills without any observable behavior change, which is also not applicable in this situation.
