Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described in the question is an example of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (sights, sounds, and smells of the clinic) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (chemotherapy-induced nausea) to elicit a conditioned response (nausea in response to the clinic). Operant conditioning involves changing behavior through reinforcement and punishment, latent learning describes learning that occurs without immediate reward or reinforcement, and observational learning involves learning by observing others.
