6. What is acquisition?
A. Refers to the initial stage of the learning or conditioning process. In this stage, particular response is being associated with a particular stimulus to the point where we can say the organism has "acquired " the response.
B. When the occurrences of a conditioned response decrease or disappear. In classical conditioning, this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
C. The reapperance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened responce.
7. What is extinction?
A.refers to the initial stage of the learning or conditioning process. In this stage, particular response is being associated with a particular stimulus to the point where we can say the organism has "acquired" the response.
B. When the occurrencences of a conditioned response decrease or disappear. In classical conditioning , this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus
C. The reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response.
8. What is spontaneous recovery?
A. Refers to the initial stage of the learning or conditioning process. In this stage, particular response is being associated with a particular stimulus to the point where we can say the organism has " acquired" the response.
B. When the occurences of a conditioned response decrease or disappear. In clasaical conditioning , this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
C.The reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response.

Skinner believed that the most useful data for predicting and controlling behavior are :
people's psychological components.
people's constitutions.
people's conscious perceptions.
people's personal histories.
Skinner's scientific behaviorism assumes that :
the study of human behavior must be based on methods that are quite different from those of other natural sciences.
the motives of the subjects being observed must be given special consideration.
human behavior is subject to the laws of science.
human behavior cannot be studied scientifically.
Skinner's work was MOST influenced by -
Ivan Pavlov.
John Watson.
Harry Stack Sullivan.
Albert Bandura.
What was Skinner's position on such internal mental states as thinking and feeling?
They do not exist because they cannot be observed from outside.
They exist, but scientists should not attribute behavior to them.
They are essential to an understanding of human behavior.
None of these is correct.
Skinner believed that the most critical aspect of science is :
the testing and verification of hypotheses.
an attitude valuing empirical observation.
the measurement of physiological responses.
reliable formulation of hypothetical concepts.
Operant conditioning is distinguished from classical conditioning primarily in that operant conditioning involves -
the engagement of instincts.
immediate reinforcement of a response.
the pairing of a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.
elicited rather than emitted behavior.
The three conditions essential to operant conditioning are :
the situation, behavior, and conditioned stimulus.
the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned stimulus, and the organism.
the antecedent, the behavior, and the consequence.
the unconditioned stimulus, the "Skinner box", and the experimenter.
For Skinner, an important distinction between classical conditioning and operant conditioning is that in classical conditioning behavior is _______, whereas in operant conditioning behavior is ________.
generalized; discriminated
emitted; elicited
extinguished; generalized
elicited; emitted
Skinner called any stimulus within the environment that strengthens behavior a -
reward.
punishment.
reinforcement.
respondent.
Any behavior that tends to reduce or avoid conditions that are detrimental to the survival of the organism is -
positively reinforced.

punished.
Skinner believed that the effects of punishment are -
the same as the effects of reward.
the exact opposite to those of reward.
more predictable than those of reward.
less predictable than those of reward.
Negative and positive reinforcement are alike in that they -
strengthen the behavior they follow.
involve the presentation of a beneficial stimulus.
involve the removal of an aversive stimulus.
extinguish the behavior they follow.
