The statement that identifies a major difference between learning theories and psychoanalytic theories is:
**d. Learning theories can be tested and applied to real life situations.**
Learning theories, such as behaviorism and social learning theory, often focus on observable behaviors and can be empirically tested and applied in practical settings. Psychoanalytic theories, developed by figures like Sigmund Freud, emphasize unconscious processes and internal conflicts, which are often more difficult to measure or apply in concrete ways.
