Renee is scared to stay alone at home, especially at night. She experiences a sense of fear every time she hears a clicking sound and interprets it as the sound made when someone tries to break open a lock. Although her house is in a safe locality and there has never been any instance of burglary, she is still terrified at the thought of someone breaking in. This type of learning is an example of .

Classical conditioning.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning is illustrated as the process of learning through linking of two distinct stimuli(biological and environmental). In such a process, the new learned behavioral response is an outcome of the association of the two stimuli.

As per the given description, Renne's behavioral response(fearing to stay home alone) exemplify the new learned behavior is the product of pairing of the conditioned stimulus(clicking sound) with the unconditioned stimulus(a sense of fear). Thus, this situation exemplify 'classical conditioning' as her fearful response that avoids her to stay alone at home is the learning through associating the fear she feels due to the clicking sound at night.
