Identify the type of learning illustrated:Tinbergen showed that female digger wasps use landmarks to locate their hives.
A
imprinting
B
operant conditioning
C
cognition
D
spatial learning
E
social learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tinbergen concluded that the wasp did use landmarks to find her nests, and that she could learn new ones. Tinbergen used simple materials in his experiment-pine cones and stones-and a simple procedure. The results led him to conclude that digger wasps use a pattern of landmarks to find their nests.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of insight learning in apes in the wild include chimpanzees “fishing” for termites. The animals place a “tool” such as a twig in a hole of termite mound, and the termites crawl onto the twig. Then the chimpanzee withdraws the twig from the hole and eats the termites.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instinct, imprinting, conditioning, and imitation are the four types of animal behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Learned behaviors include imprinting and habituation, conditioning, and, most powerfully, cognitive learning.
