Answer 1

Answer:

(B). Cognitive

Explanation:

Cognition is a mental process that involves learning through experiences or by using the senses.

Classical conditioning occurs when the mind forms an association between two things such that when one happens, there is an expectation that the other will follow.

Mice learning to fear a tone because they have associated the tone to the shock that occurs with it, is an example of cognitive theory of classical conditioning.
