Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (c) Habituation.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (c) Habituation is a form of response towards a stimulus that decreases after repeated or prolonged presentations of that stimulus. For example, a new sound in your environment may initially draw your attention or even become distracting but later with some passing of the time, the attention towards it decreases.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) Imprinting is used to describe a type of learning that usually occurs in the early period of life. So it is also called as phase-sensitive learning. This learning happens at a particular stage.
Option (b) fixed action pattern describes a behavioral sequence that is said to be produced by the innate releasing mechanism. They are the actions that any species is programmed to do.
Option (d) Operant conditioning is a method of learning that employs rewards or punishments for that particular behavior. An association is formed between a behavior and the results or the consequences operating in that behavior.
