Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In escape learning, an organism learns to engage in a response (such as running away or hiding) that brings an aversive stimulation (such as pain or fear) to an end. The focus is on removing already existing aversive stimulation rather than preventing it from occurring in the first place (as in avoidance learning). Option B describes observational learning, Option C describes avoidance learning and Option D describes classical conditioning.
