1Name one assumption of the Behaviourist Approach
- ABehaviour is influenced by the three parts of the mind (i.e tripartite personality)
- BBehaviour can be explained by mental processes
- CBehaviour can be explained in terms of Operant Conditioning
2Name another assumption of the Behaviourist Approach
- ABehaviour can be explained in terms of the social learning theory
- BBehaviour is influenced by early childhood experiences
3Albert Bandura believed that aggression could not be explained using what theory?
- AModern learning theory
- BTraditional learning theory
4Children primarily learn their aggressive responses through ______________
- AReinforcement
- BObservation
- CAssociation
5What did Skinners Operant conditioning claim?
- AChildren learn behaviour by just observing role models with whom they identify
- BLearning takes place through direct reinforcement
6What is called when children learn about consequences of aggressive behaviour by watching others being reinforced or punished?
- AIndirect or vicarious reinforcement
- BPositive reinforcement
7In order for social learning to take place, what must first occur?
- APunishment
- BMental representations
- CObservational Learning
8What must be represented in term of expectancies of near future?
- APossible rewards and punishment
- BConsequences of aggressive behaviour
9What was the classic study done by Bandura et al (1961)?
- AGoGo doll study
- BBarbie doll study
- CBOBO doll study
10How old were the children that were involved in the study?
- A3-7 yrs
- B3 1/2 - 6 yrs
- C3-6 yrs
11The results from Bandura's study were evidence of what?
- AObservational Learning and imitation of role models
- BObservational Learning and imitation of children
- CObservational Learning and imitation of aggressive behaviour
12What is systematic desensitisation?
- ATherapy used to treat Psychotic disorders
- BTherapy used to treat phobic disoders
13What is Systematic desenstitisation's link to the behaviourist assumption?
- AMentally disordered behaviour is caused by the unconscious mind and wishes
- BKey influence on behaviour is how an individuals thinks about a situation
- CMentally disordered behaviour is learned, like any other behaviour
- DMentally disordered behaviour has a physical, biological cause such as an imbalance to neurotrasmitters
14What is the aim of Systematic Desensitisation?
- ATo learn a new stimulus response association through classical conditioning in order that an undesirable behaviour is suppressed.
- BTo identify and challenge maladaptive thoughts and replace them with constructive, positive thinking that will lead to healthy behaviour
15What is the first stage of desensitisation hierarchy?
- ATherapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
- BPatient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
- CPatient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
16What is the first stage of desensitisation hierarchy?
- ATherapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
- BPatient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
- CPatient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
17What is the second stage of the hierarchy?
- APatient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
- BTherapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
- CPatient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
18What is the third stage of the Desensitisation hierarchy?
- APatient gradually works through the desensitisation hierarchy, each time visualising an anxiety provoking scene and at the same time practising relaxation
- BPatient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
- CTherapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
19What is the fourth stage of the Desensitisation hierarchy ?
- ATherapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
- BPatient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
- CPatient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
20What is the fourth stage of the Desensitisation hierarchy ?
- ATherapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
- BPatient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
- CPatient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
21What is the fifth and final stage of Desensitisation hierarchy?
- APatient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
- BPatient eventually masters the most anxiety provoking scene and thus overcomes their phobia
22Systematic Desensitisation is an example of what?
- AModelling
- BCounterconditioning
23What happens in Vitro or Covert Sensitisation?
- APatient watches someone else dealing with feared object and practices relaxation
- BThe feared object is imagined using pictures or thought
- CNo hierarchy is developed, the patient is simply presented with their feared object
24What happens in Vivo desensitisation?
- AFears are directly confronted
- BFeared object is imagined using pictures or thought
- CNo therapist is required
25What happens in Modelling?
- ANo hierarchy is developed, the patient is simply presented with their feared stimulus
- BPatient watches someone else dealing with feared object and practices relaxation
26What happens in Self-administered ?
- ANo therapist is required
- BFears are directly confronted
- CThe feared object is imagined using pictures or thought
27What happens in flooding?
- AFears are directly confronted
- BPatient watches someone else dealing with the feared object and practices relaxation
- CNo hierarchy is developed, the patient is simply presented with their feared stimulus
28Name a strength of the behaviourist approach

29Name one weakness of the behaviourist approach
- ADeterminist
- BFocus on hear and now
30Name one method used by the behaviourist approach

- CClinical interviews
31Name another method used by the behaviourist approach
- ALab experiments
- BTwin studies
32Name a strength of using lab experiments to study behaviour
