, 1. Most psychologists reject dictionary definitions of learning because:
a. the definitions are too objective
b. the definitions tend to be behavioristic
c. * the definitions are nebulous

reinforcers but notto obtain rewards

3. To attribute a behavioral change to learning, the change must be all of the
followingexcept:
a. relatively permanent
b. the result of experience
c. observed in performance
d. * the result of maturation
4. We can make inferences concerning the learning process by studying:
a. * changes in behavior
b. the mind
c. acquired knowledge
d. motivational states
5. According to most learning theorists the learning process:
a. cannot be studied objectively
b. cannot be studied at all
c. * can be studied only indirectly through changes in behavior
d. can be studied directly
6. For most learning theorists, learning is thought of as a(n):
a. independent variable
