Question 24 of 40

•
D. accounting.
Question 25 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points

B. positive reinforcement.
•
C. information about bodily processes a person normally does not have.
•
D. measuring muscle tension.
Question 26 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
Tolman and Honzik concluded from their experiment on latent learning that reinforcement is:
•
A. necessary for both learning and performance.
•
B. not necessary for either learning or performance.
•
C. necessary for learning but not performance.
•
D. necessary for performance but not learning.
Question 27 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points

B. to immobilize the skeletal muscles.
•
C. as a pain killer.
•
D. All of the above
Question 28 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
The fact that sky diving can be a reinforcer contradicts:
•
A. need-reduction theory.
•
B. drive-reduction theory.
•
C. Both a and b
•

D. Neither a nor b
Question 29 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
One factor theorists have suggested that reinforcement is at work in:
•
A. both classical and operant conditioning.
•
B. classical but not operant conditioning.
•
C. operant but not classical conditioning.
•
D. neither classical nor operant conditioning.
Question 30 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
Using neurofeedback for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder involves giving the children:
•
A. feedback to increase brain-wave patterns associated with relaxation.
•
B. feedback to increase brain-wave patterns associated with alertness.
•
C. feedback to reduce muscle tension in the forehead.
•
D. feedback to reduce bodily movements.
Question 31 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
A problem with research on the use of EMG biofeedback to reduce tension headaches is that:
•
A. some patients cannot learn to relax their forehead muscles with the EMG equipment.
•
B. patients can only relax their forehead muscles when connected to the biofeedback equipment.
•
C. the EMG biofeedback produced only temporary improvement.
•
D. None of the above
Question 32 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
According to response deprivation theory, a LESS probable behavior:
•
A. can never reinforce a more probable behavior.
•
B. can never punish a more probable behavior
•
C. may reinforce a more probable behavior if access to the less probable behavior is severely restricted.
•
D. may reinforce a more probable behavior if access to the more probable behavior is severely restricted.
Question 33 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
Some one factor theorists have claimed that visceral responses such as heart rate:
•
A. can be controlled by operant conditioning.
•
B. can be controlled by classical but not operant conditioning.
•
C. can be controlled by punishment but not reinforcement.
•

D. None of the above
Question 34 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
