问题     In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called "classical conditioning. " This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother’s face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.
    The second kind of learning is called " operant(动作的) conditioning. " This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.
If a child is bitten or startled several times by a dog, he may learn to associate furry (有毛皮的) animals with pain or startle and thus develop a fear of furry animals. This is a typical example of learning through______.
选项 A、classical conditioning
B、operant conditioning
C、both A and B
D、neither A nor B
答案A
解析 如果一个小孩被狗咬了或吓了多次，那么狗既是刺激物，又总是伴随着负面的影响而出现。所以就孩子而言，a dog is“associated with”or“paired with”pain，属于典型的classical conditioning的认知过程。
