PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING dr dr




Multiple Choice Questions
dr dr




Human beings undoubtedly learn more during the course
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


of a lifetime than any other species on earth. The major
dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


result of this capacity to learn is that:
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr



New instincts begin to emerge.
dr dr dr dr



Human thought becomes less logical with each
dr dr dr dr dr dr



generation. Humans can benefit from their
d r dr dr dr dr dr



experiences.
d r



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


analyzed in terms of stimuli and responses.
d r dr dr dr dr dr dr




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



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



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


advocate political practices he has previously
dr dr dr dr dr dr


opposed.
d r



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


is related to the multiplication fact ―6 x 4 = 24.‖

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


since he was bitten by a German shepherd two years
d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


ago. dr




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


when she is in kindergarten, but she can do it quite well by the
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


time she is in second grade. Is this an instance of learning?
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr



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



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



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


physiological maturation.
d r dr



Maybe, but only if she is being reinforced for tracing
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


accurately.

, Chapter 1 – Perspectives on Learning


Three of the following illustrate various ways
d r d r that d r d r d r d r d r


d r learning might be reflected in a person‘s behavior. Which
d r d r d r dr dr dr dr dr


dr one of the following changes does not necessarily reflect
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr


dr learning?
Although it‘s a school night, Dean plays video games until well
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


past his usual bedtime. As he becomes more tired, he finds
d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


it increasingly difficult to concentrate on what he‘s doing.
dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr



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


grandparents immigrated to the United States from
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


Ireland. But after a conversation with his
d r dr dr dr dr dr dr


grandmother, he can now describe the
dr d r dr dr dr dr


circumstances of the family‘s immigration in
dr dr dr dr d r dr


considerable detail.
dr dr



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


(shooting, dribbling, etc.) on a basketball court at a local
d r d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


park. With each practice session, his movements become
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr


faster and smoother.
dr dr dr



Lewis occasionally asks for help when he has difficulty
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


with his classwork, but most of the time he just
dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


struggles quietly on his own. After his teacher assures
dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr


him that asking for help is not a sign of weakness or
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


inability, he begins asking for help much more
dr dr dr dr dr d r dr dr


frequently.
