- DStimulus generalisation
12Select the correct answer. Problem solving…
- AOnly occurs in humans and not animals
- BOccurs in humans and animals
- COnly occurs in animals with intelligence
- DIs not studied in behaviour analysis
13In Epstein’s (1985) study the pigeons…
- AWere not taught how to move the box to the green spot; they had to figure it out themselves
- BWere taught the prerequisite skills but not how to chain them together
- CWere directly taught how to move the box and then stand on it to peck the banana
- DWere punished if they did not problem-solve in time
14I come home to find that my dog has destroyed my favourite shoes. The dog’s ears are flat and he avoids eye contact with me. The most likely explanation of this is:
- AThis behaviour has avoided punishment in the past
- BThe dog is feeling guilty

- DThe dog has seen the chewed shoes and displays this behaviour in response to that stimulus
15Find the correct answer. In the original Epstein (1984) paper…
- AOther pigeons trained only in one of the prerequisite skills could not solve the problem
- BJumping to peck at the banana was extinguished
- CThe box being under the banana was an SD for standing on it to peck
- DA & C
- EAll of the above
16A chimp is taught some sign language but often mixes up the word order e.g. “water want” rather than “want water”. What is the most likely explanation?

- BAnimals do not enjoy language so are less motivated to get it right.
- CThe chimp means something else but cannot express it correctly
- DBoth phrases have resulted in the keeper getting the chimp water

- CTo use ASL (American Sign Language)
- DTo use a keyboard to type requests
18What function did the first words that Washoe developed have?
- APositive social
- BNegative social
- CAutomatic
- DA & C
19‘The dog bit me because it was angry’ is an anthropomorphism because:
- AIt explains animal behaviour in terms of human motives

20What is problem solving from a behaviour analytic perspective?
- AEngaging in intelligent behaviours
- BEngaging in anthropomorphic behaviours
- CEngaging in behaviours you have never performed before that are aimed to produce certain consequences
- DEngaging in behaviours you have performed before that are aimed to produce certain consequences

24Ferguson (2013) suggested that there are only five relevant offender characteristics in a profile - motive, special skills or knowledge of methods and materials, relationship to the victim, ________________________, and criminal skill or forensic awareness.
