List - I List - II (a) Latent learning (i) Learning a response to terminate an aversive stimulus. (b) Cognitive learning (ii) Occurrence of learning is not evident in behaviour until later. (c) Escape learning (iii) A change in the way of processing informations as a result of experiences. (d) Avoidance learning (iv) Learning a response to avoid an aversive stimulus
Matching Learning Concepts
The question requires matching different types of learning from List I with their corresponding definitions in List II.
Latent Learning (a)
Latent learning refers to learning that happens without any obvious reinforcement and is not immediately demonstrated. It becomes apparent only when there is an incentive or need to show it. This matches definition (ii) Occurrence of learning is not evident in behaviour until later.
Cognitive Learning (b)
Cognitive learning involves mental processes such as thinking, understanding, problem-solving, and information processing. It is about how experiences change our understanding and mental representations. This aligns with definition (iii) A change in the way of processing informations as a result of experiences.
Escape Learning (c)
Escape learning is a type of operant conditioning where an organism learns a specific behavior to terminate an unpleasant or aversive stimulus that is already present. This matches definition (i) Learning a response to terminate an aversive stimulus.
Avoidance Learning (d)
Avoidance learning is similar to escape learning but involves learning a behavior to prevent an aversive stimulus from occurring in the first place. The response is made *before* the unpleasant stimulus happens. This corresponds to definition (iv) Learning a response to avoid an aversive stimulus.
Summary of Matches
Based on the definitions:
- (a) Latent learning matches (ii)
- (b) Cognitive learning matches (iii)
- (c) Escape learning matches (i)
- (d) Avoidance learning matches (iv)
Therefore, the correct code is (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv).
