Multiple Choice

Why did the behaviourists have such a problem with findings like latent learning?

• A) because it involves classical and operant conditioning at the same time, and the behaviourists argued that learning can only be one or the other
• B) because it proposes learning can occur without reinforcement, and the behaviourists argued that reinforcement is necessary for learning
• C) because it is a type of associative learning that isn't apparent without special experimental manipulations, and the behaviourists argued that true associative learning doesn't require special procedures to measure it
• D) because it assumes that learning can take place without awareness, and the behaviourists argued that all learning requires awareness
