If a sea slug on repeated occasions receives an electric shock just after being squirted with water, its protective withdrawal response to a squirt of water grows stronger. this best illustrates:
a) pontaneous recovery.
b) associative learning.
c) observational learning.
d) operant conditioning.
e) habituation.

Associative learning

Explanation:

Associative learning refers to how our learning ideas and experience are all linked to one another

Associative Learning and Behavior

Associative learning is a conditioning of a behavior that is dependent on a stimulus and a behavior. This means people can learn a behavior and ag the same time can get rid of a behavior depending on its response.

A sea slug knows that if it squirted with water it will receive an electrical shock due to knowing this response the sea slug has enhanced its protective withdrawal to a squirt of water.

A behavior that is not rewarding will result to a person associating its response with their action which means they will try by all means to unlearn that behavior to avoid the unrewarding response.
