Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of classical conditioning, which involves learning through association between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus, leading to a conditioned response.
Step 2: Recognize that vicarious classical conditioning occurs when an individual learns a conditioned response by observing someone else's reaction to a stimulus, rather than through direct experience.
Step 3: Analyze each option to see if the learning happens through direct experience or observation of another's response.
Step 4: Identify that the example where a child develops a fear of dogs after watching their older sibling react fearfully involves learning through observation, fitting the definition of vicarious classical conditioning.
Step 5: Confirm that other options involve direct experience or different types of learning, so they do not represent vicarious classical conditioning.
