Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Example answers could be: Completeness of task analysisimpact, a more complete analysis results in better performance. Length/complexity of the chainimpact, the more complex the chain, the more difficult it is to learn. Schedule of reinforcementimpact, the more responses in the chain, the leaner the schedule of natural reinforcementa more dense schedule of reinforcement may be required. Extinctionimpact, earlier responses in the chain will deteriorate more quickly as extinction continuesthis will have an impact on subsequent steps because these steps serve as SD s for those steps. Stimulus variationimpact, unless stimulus variation is programmed into instruction, any variation of stimuli within the chain may produce decreased performance on the entire chain because the stimuli won't occasion the correct response
