When people form an attitude about something, direct experience can play a role. An example is:

A) the halo effect.
B) the mere exposure effect.
C) vicarious reinforcement.
D) intermittent reinforcement.

Direct Experience

Vicarious Reinforcement

involves learning new behaviors or attitudes through observing the consequences of those behaviors for someone else, rather than experiencing them directly.

Halo Effect
