15A [blank_start]case study[blank_end] suggests fruitful ideas for future research, no generalizations, or universal truths. A [blank_start]survey[blank_end] is a self-reported data tool used to study participants and gather information about individuals. [blank_start]Natural observation[blank_end] often involves new technology, does not control all factors, and describes and sometimes illuminates, but does not explain behavior.

17Description includes surveys and interviews; it is the best basis for generalizing because it forms a representative sample.

- BFalsch
18Correlations are a measure of the differences in physical appearance of two factors, and are used to determine whether or not these two factors are the same materials.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
19Correlation proves causation.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
20Experiments are meant for researchers to test a bunch of variables all at once to see what happens to them, variables are swapped and changed whenever it is necessary to the experiment.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
21Behavioral Science is defined as. . .
- A. . .an emphasis on human growth, and potential. Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow focused on the need for love, acceptance, and an environment that nurtures or limits growth.
- B. . .behavior scientifically defined, conditioned, observed, and measured. It was founded by Watson and Rayner, who championed the scientific study of behavior with their "Little Albert" experiment; fear can be learned.
22Humanistic Perspective is defined as. . .
- A. . .behavior scientifically defined, conditioned, observed, and measured. It was founded by Watson and Rayner, who championed the scientific study of behavior with their "Little Albert" experiment; fear can be learned.
- B. . .an emphasis on human growth, and potential. Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow focused on the need for love, acceptance, and an environment that nurtures or limits growth.
23[blank_start]SQ3R[blank_end] is a study method that uses the technique of survey, question, read, retrieve, review.
- ASQ3R
24Define learning.
- AThe process of acquiring through experience.
- BThe process of acquiring new and relatively enduring information or behaviors.
- CThe processing of acquiring motor and neurological skills.
25[blank_start]Classical Conditioning[blank_end] is a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events, founded by [blank_start]Ivan Pavlov[blank_end].
- AClassical Conditioning
- BIvan Pavlov
26[blank_start]Operant Conditioning[blank_end] is a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher, associated with [blank_start]B.F. Skinner[blank_end].
- AOperant Conditioning
- BB.F. Skinner
27[blank_start]Observational Learning[blank_end] is when higher animals, especially humans, learn without direct experience by watching and imitating others, associated with [blank_start]Albert Bandura[blank_end] and his [blank_start]bobo doll[blank_end] experiment.
- AObservational Learning
- BAlbert Bandura
- Cbobo doll
28We learn by replication.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
29What is a Skinner Box?
- AAn operant chamber for experiments that includes a bar that an animal presses to release a reward of food or water, as well as a device that records these responses.
- BAn observational chamber for experiments that includes several dogs connected to saliva measuring devices. As a stimulant is presented, the dog begins to salivate in anticipation.
- CA small room that children are placed in after viewing an adult acting violently with a bobo doll. Once alone, the children will normally begin to mirror the adults actions, violently kicking and insulting the doll.
30[blank_start]Mirror Neurons[blank_end] are frontal lobe neurons that scientists believe fire when a person performs certain actions or observes another person doing so; they provide a neural basis for everyday imitation and observational learning.
- AMirror Neurons
- BObservational Neurons
- CStagnant Neurons
- DModeling Neurons
31Modeling is the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
32If prosocial modeling can have prosocial effects, antisocial modeling can have antisocial effects. What are examples of prosocial and antisocial modeling?

- EAn employee learns sales skills by copying their boss.
- FWatching violence may foster indifference in younger viewers.
- GSomeone mugs a man in a dark alley, and now he avoids them.
- HA child receives a candy bar for doing a good deed, so they repeat the good deeds in the hope of getting more.
33[blank_start]Punishment[blank_end] administers an undesirable consequence or withdraws something desirable to decrease the frequency of a behavior. A [blank_start]positive punishment[blank_end] affects behavior by presenting a negative consequence after an undesired behavior is exhibited, making that behavior less likely to happen in the future. A [blank_start]negative punishment[blank_end], removing a desired stimulus after a particular undesired behaviors is exhibited results in reducing that behavior in the future.
- APunishment
- Bpositive punishment
- Cnegative punishment
34[blank_start]Acquisition[blank_end] is the initial stage when one links a neural stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response.
- AAcquisition
- BExtinction
- CSpontaneous Recovery
- DGeneralization
- EDiscrimination
35[blank_start]Extinction[blank_end] is the diminishing of a conditioned response, occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus.
- AExtinction
36What is a reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response?
- Aacquisition
- Bextinction
- Cspontaneous recovery
- Dgeneralization
- Ediscrimination
37Generalization is the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus (which predicts the unconditioned stimulus) and other irrelevant stimuli.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
38Discrimination is the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus (which predicts the unconditioned stimulus) and other irrelevant stimuli.
