Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of observational learning, where Niles is learning by observing and imitating his dad's behavior. It is not classical conditioning because there is no pairing of a stimulus and a response, and it is not operant conditioning because there is no reinforcement or punishment involved. It is also not habituation because Niles is actively learning something new.
