1.
A) This is operant conditioning since punishment is being added in the form of fine and suspension.
B) The behavior involved is driving under influence. This behavior will be reduced as the person is facing a punishment.
C) The consequence is suspension of the driving licence along with a fine of $500.
2. A) Classical conditioning
B) This is because, there is triggering of a fear response after being bitten, which is an unconditioned stimulus. Here, the dog was initially a neutral stimulus. This results in formation of an association, in the form of a conditioned stimulus, resulting in a fear response, which is a conditioned response, causing phobia of dogs, which comes from a single incident after being bit.
