Avoidance learning is a type of conditioning which occurs when an organism learns to respond, through past direct or indirect experience, in a way that allows its evasion. For example if a student failed in his last exam because he did not prepared well then he would study hard the next time in order to avoid the consequence of failure.
In a similar way avoidance learning plays an important role in avoidance of traffic accident. A person, by his past experience, knows the consequences of traffic accident, therefore he takes all the precautions necessary to avoid such an event.
