LIST-I LIST-II A. Cognitive Maps I. Kohler B. Insight Learning II. Pavlov C. Puzzle Box III. Tolman D. Classical Conditioning IV. Thorndike
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
This question requires matching key concepts in learning psychology with their primary proponents. We will analyze each item in LIST-I and find its corresponding theorist in LIST-II.
Cognitive Maps were proposed by Edward Tolman. He suggested that animals (like rats in mazes) form mental representations of their environment, rather than just responding to stimuli.
Insight Learning is characterized by a sudden understanding or solution to a problem, often after a period of contemplation. Wolfgang Köhler's experiments with chimpanzees demonstrated this phenomenon.
Edward Thorndike used Puzzle Boxes extensively in his research on animal learning. His work led to the formulation of the Law of Effect, which is foundational to behaviorism.
Classical Conditioning, the learning of associative responses, is famously associated with Ivan Pavlov and his experiments involving dogs and salivation.
Compiling the matches:
This sequence (A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II) matches the correct pairings.
Therefore, the correct option is 4.
