Question

1. American Sign Language (ASL) may, according to the textbook, be best described as:

A. motioned behavior

B. verbal behavior   

C. limited communication

2. Lubinski and Thompson (1987) trained pigeons to discriminate among private stimulation produced by different drugs and report how they felt. They showed that:

A. accurate tacting of the drug effects could be maintained by generalized conditioned reinforcement

B. generally, pigeons were reliable at reporting on the internal effects of drugs

C.  when birds are exposed to verbal contingencies that are presumed to operate in human behavior, they begin to act something like humans

D. all of these are correct.

3. When an organism responds to three different stimulus classes such that if A = B and B = C, then A = C, the relationship is called:

  

A. reflexivity

B. transitivity

C. symmetry

4. According to the textbook, listener's behavior may be analyzed as

A. rule-governed behavior

B. auditory perception

Answer 1

Answer 1=) The answer is B( verbal behavior ). As option A(motioned behavior) is based on specific type of application and option C(limited communication) was the drawback of previously used sign language which was overcome by ASL.

Answer 2=) The answer is D(all of these are correct), As all the options are the characteristics of it.

Answer 3=) The answer is B(transitivity), as symmetric is A=B means B=A should be in the subset, and reflexivity means A=B, B=C,C=D then each element should be in the subset of it, in other words reflexivity = symmetric + some other condition.

Answer 4=) The answer is B(auditory perception), as it is clearly stated in the textbook, where as ruled governed behavior means that the person learns indirectly without direct contact with the consequences.
