Escape learning involves

  • A.Instrumental conditioning with positive reinforcement
  • B.Classical conditioning with positive reinforcement
  • C.Classical conditioning with negative reinforcement
  • D.Instrumental conditioning with negative reinforcement

Answer: D

Escape learning involves instrumental conditioning with negative reinforcement. The organism makes a response, and the response removes an unpleasant stimulus that is already present, such as moving to the other side of a shuttle box to end a shock.

Removal of an aversive stimulus is negative reinforcement, and a response that produces a consequence is instrumental, so the options with positive reinforcement or classical conditioning are wrong. In classical conditioning the response does not remove the stimulus.
