A 27-year-old man has been arrested by the police for hitting, cursing at, and verbally berating his wife of 8 years. The wife tells the police he also regularly physically whips his 7-year-old son with a leather belt and often strikes the boy with his hand. When asked why he does this, he responds that this is "how my father treated me, it's how men should act."
This represents which of the following types of learning?
A. Classical conditioning
B. Cognitive learning
C. Imprinting
D. Operant conditioning
E. Social learning

The correct answer is E.
In social learning, also known as modeling, behavior is acquired by watching other persons and assimilating their actions into the behavioral repertoire.
There is no verbal or cognitive process (choice B) that is involved, no reinforcement (as in operant conditioning; choice D), no pairing of stimuli to get stimulus substitution (as in classical conditioning; choice A), nor any early-life bonding or imprinting (choice C) involved in this type of process.
Because behaviors such as spousal abuse, child abuse, and elder abuse are all based on observing and incorporating behaviors from significant others, the person displaying the behaviors does not realize the behaviors are inappropriate and is typically very resistant to change. The fact that the learning is nonverbal and not dependent upon reinforcement contributes to the resistance to change.
