What a weird question. Isn't all of the above an answer?

Even though I know exactly what each of those types of learning are, I still would struggle to pick just one for each. Here goes though:

A: Cognition, becuase you are taking knowledge and applying it, I guess.
B. Classical, probably. Because you are practising and getting a response. Although depending on how you are learning I think it could be operant to, if you are getting reinforcements for getting it correct. I think it's social learning to, observation-imitation.
C: Operant. Because it's likely been reinforced.
D: I think again this is Cognition, taking knowledge and applying it.
E: Eh, Classical I guess. Could be a bit of Cognitive and a little Operant to though.

That is hard! I'm doing a psychology degree yet I've probably got this all wrong! But then I think it's when complicated theories are simplified that it actually makes it more difficult.
