2. There is a mouse inside a cage. Within the cage, there is a light bulb and a lever. You want to teach the mouse to step on the lever each time you turn on the light. When the mouse steps on the lever, you give him a treat (but only when the light turns on). After several attempts, the mouse learns that, "When the light turns on, I must step on the lever in order to receive a treat." Was this associative or instrumental learning? Explain. (2 points).

Instrumental learning

Explanation:

Associative learning is a form of learning which is performed when two or more events or stimuli controls the learning behaviour. The instrumental learning is a  type of learning in which the learning process is associated with the consequence or result of the action.

In the given question, the mouse learns how to step on the lever as a result of the received food in the form of reward or he learned because he received the treatment, therefore, this act of learning will be considered the instrumental learning.

Thus, Instrumental learning is correct.

loss of sensation to pressure and touch

the dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (dcml) (also known as the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway (pcml)) is a sensory pathway of the central nervous system that conveys sensations of fine touch, vibration, two-point discrimination, and proprioception (position) from the skin and joints.

other quantities, called derived quantities, are defined in terms of the seven base quantities via a system of quantity equations. the si derived unitsfor these derived quantities are obtained from these equations and the seven si base units.
