Question 1

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the "wave" or generation in the development of behaviorism to which the item is most closely associated. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Scientific, empirical approach.

Accepted Answer

The scientific, empirical approach is a fundamental aspect of all waves of behaviorism, as behaviorism as a whole is grounded in empirical research and scientific methods.

Question 2

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the "wave" or generation in the development of behaviorism to which the item is most closely associated. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.

Question 3

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the "wave" or generation in the development of behaviorism to which the item is most closely associated. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-People acquire both problem and nonproblem behaviors through the same learning processes.

Accepted Answer

This statement aligns with the core principles of behaviorism across all its waves/generations, as they all emphasize the role of learning processes in acquiring behaviors.

Question 4

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the "wave" or generation in the development of behaviorism to which the item is most closely associated. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-People learn vicariously.

Accepted Answer

This is most closely associated with the second wave/generation of behaviorism, also known as social learning theory. This theory emphasizes the importance of learning through observation of others, rather than just through direct reinforcement from the environment.

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the "wave" or generation in the development of behaviorism to which the item is most closely associated. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Therapy designed to be brief.

Question 6

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the "wave" or generation in the development of behaviorism to which the item is most closely associated. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Pursuit in therapy of both first and second order change.

Accepted Answer

The pursuit of both first and second order change in therapy is most closely associated with the third wave/generation of behaviorism, which integrates traditional behavior therapy with cognitive and mindfulness strategies to achieve comprehensive change.

Question 7

In classical behaviorism, which of the following factors lead to personality change?

Accepted Answer

Collaboration between counselor and client is a key aspect of classical behaviorism, and this collaboration is focused on enabling the client to discuss and consider goals for future behavior. This collaboration often involves manipulating the client's environment, but it is not necessarily focused on renewing a blank slate (tabula rasa) as in choice B. Therefore, options A and C are correct, and D is incorrect as it includes option B.

Question 8

While teaching a class, a teacher ignores the inappropriate talking the students engage in amongst themselves. This is an example of

Accepted Answer

Extinction is the process of eliminating a behavior by removing the reinforcement that is maintaining it. In this case, the inappropriate talking is not being reinforced with attention or other consequences, so it may eventually extinguish. This is in contrast to punishment which involves adding a consequence to decrease a behavior. Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a behavior after it was thought to be extinct, and discrimination refers to the ability to differentiate between similar stimuli.

Question 9

According to the text authors, which schedule of reinforcement results in the most frequent and long-lasting response pattern?

Accepted Answer

Irregular intermittent reinforcement tends to produce the most frequent and long-lasting response patterns because the unpredictability of the reinforcement schedule leads to more persistent behavior, as the subject cannot predict when the next reinforcement will come.

Question 10

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the behavioral principle the example best illustrates. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Teaching a child to tie her shoes

Accepted Answer

Shaping, which involves breaking down a complex behavior into smaller, achievable steps and reinforcing each step until the target behavior is reached, is the best fit for teaching a child to tie her shoes. Negative reinforcement, punishment, positive reinforcement, and extinction are not applicable to this scenario.

Question 11

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the behavioral principle the example best illustrates. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Eating an ice cream sundae because it tastes good

Accepted Answer

Eating an ice cream sundae because it tastes good is an example of positive reinforcement, where the behavior (eating the sundae) is being strengthened by adding a pleasant stimulus (taste) after the behavior.

Question 12

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the behavioral principle the example best illustrates. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Turning off the alarm clock
-------------------------------. Negative reinforcement

Accepted Answer

Turning off the alarm clock is an example of negative reinforcement because the behavior (turning off the alarm) removes an aversive stimulus (the loud ringing of the alarm) which increases the likelihood of the behavior being repeated in the future.

Question 13

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the behavioral principle the example best illustrates. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Working over 40 hours a week for the overtime pay

Accepted Answer

Working over 40 hours a week is a behavior that is being reinforced with overtime pay, which is a form of positive reinforcement.

Question 14

For each example in the items below, identify the lettered item naming the behavioral principle the example best illustrates. A lettered item may be the correct answer more than once or not at all.
-Reducing the amount of ice cream consumed per week due to weight gain

Accepted Answer

This is an example of punishment because the reduction in consumption of ice cream is due to the unpleasant consequence (weight gain) that followed the behavior.
