What type of learning occurs when an individual generates a behavior in response to a stimulus?

  1. Insight learning

  2. Operant conditioning

  3. Observational learning

  4. Classical conditioning

The correct answer is: Operant conditioning

Operant conditioning is the type of learning that occurs when an individual generates a behavior in response to a stimulus. This type of learning involves reinforcement or punishment to strengthen or weaken a specific behavior. It differs from classical conditioning, which involves learning through association. Insight learning involves problem solving and does not require reinforcement, while observational learning involves learning through observing others.
