Which form of learning—classical conditioning, instrumental conditioning,

observational learning, or cognitive learning—best explains the following
consumption behaviors:(a) buying a six-pack of Gatorade, (b) preferring to
purchase jeans at a Diesel Store, (c) buying an e-reader for the first time, (d) buying
a new car, and (e) switching from one cellphone service to another? Explain your
choices.
Learning is more than a individual sitting at a work area and examining off a book. Everything
that we do could be a result of what we have learned. We react to things that happen to us, we act
and encounter results from our behavior and we watch what others say and do. Learning
anything unused includes alter. You learned how to utilize a computer through experience with
the machine. There are three primary sorts of learning are Classical conditioning, Instrumental
conditioning (acting), and Observational learning (watching).
(a) Buying a six-pack of Gatorade – This falls under the Classical Conditioned Learning. A
continuous exposure to a particular product or service can cause this. It is like a response to the
environment. Here in this case buying the Gatorade is the response to the particular exposure or
influence.
(b) Preferring to buy jeans at a Diesel Store – This sounds more specifically like Cognitive
learning. This type of learning especially involves a lot of knowledge about the specified subject.
People in this category tend to have a lot of information’s. There is a lot of thinking involved and
instead of responding to the stimuli these people work with their brain.
(c) Buying a e-reader for the first time – This kind of learning can fall under observation learning
also known as modeling. An observation learning includes people being influenced by others
more than what they would like. They have a tendency to do what another person would
probably do. In this case buying a e-reader for the first time can be an observation learning as
he/she have never used it previously and this would be the first time so we can guess influence
might just have intrigued the person to also get an e-reader.
(d) Buying a new car - It can be instrumental learning. This can be called to depend on the level
of satisfaction. Once a customer finds satisfaction in something the loyalty would grow and
compared to other products the customer will always prefer their chosen products or services. In
this case new car doesn’t say first time so the customer found that satisfaction from buying the
car which influenced to get another.
(e) Switching from one cell phone service to another - Cognitive learning or even observational
learning. Cognitive because it could be the result of thinking which would be better that worked
as an influence or observational because it also might be the result of getting influenced by a
family member or friend which changed the priorities.
