  c. Presentation punishment
  d. Removal punishment

Ques. 2

The major difference between negative reinforcement and punishment is:
 
  a. negative reinforcement decreases behavior a person intended to increase, whereas punishment intentionally decreases behavior.
  b. punishment is a behavioral decrease, whereas negative reinforcement is a behavioral increase.
  c. negative reinforcement is something emotional, whereas punishment is something physical, such as picking up trash or sweeping floors.
  d. negative reinforcement is used to shape behavior, but punishment is rarely used for shaping.

Ques. 3

Which of the following is not a principle of cognitive learning theories?
 
  a. Social interaction facilitates learning.
  b. Learning and development depend on learners' experiences.
  c. Learners construct their own knowledge.
  d. Learning is a change in observable behavior.

Ques. 4

Which of the following statements most accurately describes a comparison between behaviorism and social cognitive theory?
 
  a. Behaviorism focuses on behaviors that have direct causes outside the learner, whereas social cognitive theory focuses on changes in behavior resulting from observing others.
  b. Behaviorism focuses on stimuli and responses, as well as reinforcers and punishers, but social cognitive theory does not consider reinforcers and punishers.
  c. Behaviorism emphasizes the role of feedback in the form of reinforcers and punishers on learners' behaviors, but feedback is not a part of social cognitive theory.
  d. Behaviorism emphasizes stimuli and responses that result in observable changes in learner behavior, whereas social cognitive theory emphasizes changes in observable behavior that result from reinforcers and punishers.

Ques. 5

The first step in applied behavior analysis is to:
 
  a. identify target behavior.
  b. establish a baseline for target behavior.

Of the following, the principle of cognitive learning theory that is best illustrated by this example is:
 
  a. to make sense of their experiences, learners construct knowledge.
  b. social interaction facilitates learning.
