Question 6

A young child, Leo, is afraid of going to the doctor. This fear developed after he received a painful injection during a visit. Now, whenever Leo's father mentions going to the doctor, Leo begins to cry and run away. His father sometimes gives Leo a sweet to calm him down, which stops Leo from crying temporarily, but Leo's tendency to cry and run away has increased over time.

Outline and compare classical conditioning and operant conditioning as explanations of Leo's behaviour.
