Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Learning theory proposes that a stimulus and a response become associated through reinforcement, resulting in automatic behavior. Therefore, the correct choice is stimulus and response. Trauma and avoidance (B) and trauma and response (A) refer to specific responses to a stimulus, rather than the association between stimulus and response itself. Stimulus and schema (D) refers to how information is organized in one's mind, which is not directly related to the learning process.
