Questions: QUESTION 10 Jacie was pulled over for speeding and received a speeding ticket from the police officer. Since then, Jacie is careful to go the speed limit so she doesn't receive another ticket. In this example, Jacie has displayed learning through a. Observational learning b. Operant conditioning c. Classical conditioning d. Motivation

The answer is B: operant conditioning.

Explanation for each option:

a. Observational learning: This involves learning by watching others and imitating their actions. In this scenario, Jacie did not learn by observing someone else; rather, she learned from her own experience of receiving a speeding ticket.

b. Operant conditioning: This is a type of learning where behavior is controlled by consequences. In this case, Jacie's behavior (speeding) resulted in a negative consequence (receiving a ticket), which led her to change her behavior to avoid future tickets. This is a clear example of operant conditioning, where the consequence of an action influences future behavior.

c. Classical conditioning: This involves learning through association, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a significant stimulus, eliciting a conditioned response. Jacie's situation does not involve such associations; it is more about the consequences of her actions.

d. Motivation: While motivation can influence behavior, it is not a learning process in itself. Jacie's change in behavior is due to the consequence of her previous action (receiving a ticket), which aligns more with operant conditioning than with motivation alone.
