Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thorndike's study on cats escaping the puzzle box demonstrated the process of trial and error learning. The cats initially made random movements but gradually learned to associate certain behaviors with the escape, leading to more efficient and successful escapes. This type of learning is a hallmark of operant conditioning, where the consequences of behavior shape future behavior. Therefore, the correct answer is C, trial and error learning.
