If, after learning about the separate events, the students can successfully describe the relationships, the best description of what they have learned is:
 
  a. a meaningful schema.
  b. four different types of procedural knowledge.
  c. a body of rehearsed knowledge.
  d. a combination of rehearsed and procedural knowledge.

Ques. 2

Mrs. Barber announces to her third graders at the beginning of math, Congratulations, James. Because you've been so good about bringing your math work all week, I'm giving you this certificate, and she handed James a certificate, which said:
 
  JAMES IS A MATH WHIZ. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR CONSCIENTIOUS MATH WORK.
  Mrs. Barber
 
  Identify one concept from behaviorism and two concepts from social cognitive theory that Mrs. Barber is attempting to apply with her comment and this certificate. Explain.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Ques. 3

According to descriptions of the model of human memory, the information store that holds an exact copy of stimuli for a very brief period of time is referred to as:
 
  a. sensory memory.
  b. working memory.
  c. short-term memory.
  d. long-term memory.

Ques. 4

A nursery school teacher spends some time each day reading stories such as The Little Engine That Could (a story of a little locomotive that chugged up a hill saying, I think I can, I think I can.). Using social cognitive theory as a basis, explain why a teacher would choose to read stories such as these.

Ques. 5

A middle-age man who has become a little rotund would like to get in shape but is reluctant, since he hasn't worked out for a long time, and he has long ago lost his athletic appearance. At the urging of friend, he finally goes to a fitness club near where he lives just to take a look.
  Upon arriving at the club he is surprised to see several people about his age and build laboring over the machines and free weights. The man is now consistently working out.
  Using social cognitive theory as a basis, provide a detailed explanation for the man's behavior. Include the form of modeling, the modeling outcome, and the effectiveness of the modeling in your explanation.
