Question

Tyler has just been released from a drug rehabilitation center where he was treated for heroin addiction. His therapist recommended that he stay away from old drug-related associates and places where he once used the drug. Studies show that this is a(n) _____ recommendation because _____.
a. wise; he will experience the craving for drugs when in these situations due to operant conditioning
b. unwise; he needs to test his ability to stay away from drugs
c. wise; these situations will restart the addiction through observational learning
d. wise; he will experience the craving for drugs when in these situations due to classical conditioning

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.  

Explanation:

The recommendation made by the therapist is a wise recommendation as Tyler will experience the craving for the drugs if he will visit associates and places that are related to the drugs by any means due to the classical conditioning.

Classical conditioning is the phenomenon that states that stimulus that is associated with specific learning that results in a specific response than if the same stimulus or similar stimulus reoccurred the response will be similar.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
