A) You have forgotten the teacher's name

Answer 1

5) If I want you to study very diligently for the quiz, I may use the reinforcement of a grade of A for optimum performance. True / False

** True, this is rewarding the behaviour.

6) Skinner addressed the issue of how the environment impacted behavior by acknowledging that it held the contingency upon which a behavior would be reinforced or extinguished. True / False

**This is true because those behaviours that were reinforced by the environment would be repeated whereas those which were punished would be suppressed.

7) Albert Bandura introduced the concept of observational learning into the behavioral model of learning. This model suggested that behavior could be learned (reinforced) prior to being displayed. True / False

**This is false because Bandura claimed that behaviour could be learned by observing other people.

8) If I were to ask you the name of your first grade teacher and you were unable to recall it, the behaviorist would say that:

A) You have forgotten the teacher's name

B) The encoded information no longer exists

C) You cannot retrieve the information

D) The response has been extinguished

**A behaviourist would say that the response was extinguished because it was not paired or reinforcement for a long duration of time.
