PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING ht ht




Multiple Choice Questions
ht ht




Human beings undoubtedly learn more during the course of
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


a lifetime than any other species on earth. The major result
ht h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


of this capacity to learn is that:
ht ht h t ht ht ht ht



New instincts begin to emerge. ht ht ht ht



Human thought becomes less logical with each ht ht ht ht ht ht



generation. Humans can benefit from their
h t ht ht ht ht ht



experiences.
h t



Humans are the only species whose behavior cannot be ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


analyzed in terms of stimuli and responses.
h t ht ht ht ht ht ht




Three of the following are examples of learning. Which one is not?
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht



Abigail cries when she steps on a sharp pebble. ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht



After many hours of heated debate, Brian begins to
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


advocate political practices he has previously
ht ht ht ht ht ht


opposed.
h t



Cara suddenly recognizes how the division fact ―24 ’ 4 = 6‖ is
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


related to the multiplication fact ―6 x 4 = 24.‖
h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht



David has been running away from German shepherds ever
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


since he was bitten by a German shepherd two years ago.
h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht




Reynelda has trouble tracing a complex shape with a pencil
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


when she is in kindergarten, but she can do it quite well by the
ht h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


time she is in second grade. Is this an instance of learning?
ht ht ht h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht



Yes, because her behavior has changed.
ht ht ht ht ht



No, because the circumstances are too dissimilar.
ht ht ht ht ht ht



Maybe, although the change may simply be due to ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


physiological maturation.
h t ht



Maybe, but only if she is being reinforced for tracing accurately.

Learning

Three of the following illustrate various ways
h t h t that h t h t h t h t h t


learning might be reflected in a person‘s behavior. Which
h t h t h t h t ht ht ht ht ht


one of the following changes does not necessarily reflect
ht ht ht ht h t ht ht ht ht


learning?

Although it‘s a school night, Dean plays video games until well
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


past his usual bedtime. As he becomes more tired, he finds
h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


it increasingly difficult to concentrate on what he‘s doing.
ht h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht



Even as a young child, Jerry could tell you that his
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


grandparents immigrated to the United States from
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


Ireland. But after a conversation with his
h t ht ht ht ht ht ht


grandmother, he can now describe the
ht h t ht ht ht ht


circumstances of the family‘s immigration in
ht ht ht ht h t ht


considerable detail.

Day after day, Martin practices his basketball skills
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


(shooting, dribbling, etc.) on a basketball court at a local
h t h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


park. With each practice session, his movements become
ht ht ht h t ht ht ht ht


faster and smoother.
ht ht ht



Lewis occasionally asks for help when he has difficulty with
ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


his classwork, but most of the time he just struggles
h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


quietly on his own. After his teacher assures him that
ht h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


asking for help is not a sign of weakness or inability, he
ht ht ht h t ht ht ht ht ht ht ht ht


begins asking for help much more frequently.
