Question

Julie was driving her 4-year-old son, Alec, to preschool when another driver cut her off. She immediately shouted an expletive at the other driver. During the day, Alec became angry when another child took his toy and he used the same expletive his mother used earlier. This is an example of: a. operant conditioning. b. intellectualizing. modeling. c. classical conditioning.

Answer 1

C. Modeling

Step-by-step explanation:

Modeling refers to a learned behavior that is created by imitating the person that we typically held to a high standard (such as parents or idols).

Alec's behavior is most likely formed after he observed Julie's behavior when being in conflict with other person. He later absorb that information that embodied it, resulted in similar actions when he got in conflict with his friends.
