What is the primary focus of humanistic learning theories?

  1. Change in behavior

  2. Internal mental processes

  3. Reaching one's full potential

  4. Interactions in social contexts

The correct answer is: Reaching one's full potential

Humanistic learning theories focus on the holistic development of an individual, striving to understand human behavior in its entirety. While other learning theories may prioritize specific aspects such as changes in behavior or internal mental processes, humanistic theories prioritize the growth and development of the individual as a whole, with a focus on reaching one's full potential. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not address the primary focus of humanistic learning theories.
