• Neither one elicits a response.

Which of these series of terms is most closely associated with B.F. Skinner?

• generalization, extinction, discrimination

• social learning, cognitive map, latent learning

• operant conditioning, secondary reinforcer, fixed-ratio schedule

• classical conditioning, unconditioned stimulus, conditioned response

How do social learning theorists say that social learning is different from classical conditioning or operant conditioning?

• They say that learning goes beyond mechanical response to stimuli or reinforcement.

• They say that the best way to implement social learning is by using computer-assisted instruction.

• They say that all learning must be immediately observable.

• They say that in order for learning to be long-term, the learner must obtain clear and continuous reinforcement.

The opposite of acquisition is

• generalization.

• aversion.

• discrimination.

• extinction.
