The use of energy taxes is not an example of latent learning. Latent learning involves acquiring knowledge or skills that are not immediately expressed in behavior, but may be used at a later time. Energy taxes, on the other hand, are a form of operant conditioning, where the consequence of paying more money for energy consumption serves as a punishment to decrease the behavior of using fossil fuels.
