Which of the following are forms of learning?
A. Classical conditioning
B. Operant conditioning
C. Observational learning
D. Genetic inheritance
E. Habituation
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is D

Classical conditioning, operant conditioning, observational learning, and habituation are all recognized forms of learning. Genetic inheritance is not a form of learning but rather a biological process of passing traits from parents to offspring through DNA.

Information Booster
• Classical conditioning involves learning through association between stimuli (Pavlov's experiments)
• Operant conditioning involves learning through consequences of behavior (Skinner's reinforcement theory)
• Observational learning involves acquiring new behaviors by watching others (Bandura's social learning theory)
• Habituation is the simplest form of learning where response decreases with repeated exposure to a stimulus
• All these forms involve behavioral change through experience, which is the definition of learning
• These learning mechanisms are found across many species and are fundamental to adaptation
