PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING
Multiple Choice Questions
Human beings undoubtedly learn more during the course of a
lifetime than any other species on earth. The major result of this
capacity to learn is that:
New instincts begin to emerge.
Human thought becomes less logical with each
generation. Humans can benefit from their
experiences.
Humans are the only species whose behavior cannot be
analyzed in terms of stimuli and responses.
Three of the following are examples of learning. Which one is not?
Abigail cries when she steps on a sharp pebble.
After many hours of heated debate, Brian begins to
advocate political practices he has previously
opposed.
Cara suddenly recognizes how the division fact ―24 ’ 4 = 6‖ is
related to the multiplication fact ―6 x 4 = 24.‖
David has been running away from German shepherds ever
since he was bitten by a German shepherd two years ago.
Reynelda has trouble tracing a complex shape with a pencil when
she is in kindergarten, but she can do it quite well by the time she is
in second grade. Is this an instance of learning?
Yes, because her behavior has changed.
No, because the circumstances are too dissimilar.
Maybe, although the change may simply be due to
physiological maturation.
Maybe, but only if she is being reinforced for tracing accurately.
