Answer to Question 1

False . One should not continue. This will only serve to increase frustration. One should back up to the last successful step before proceeding.

Answer to Question 2

False . The delayed behaviors may have similar topographies as the imitated behaviors, but occur under the control of different controlling variables. The relation between discriminative stimuli or motivating operations and delayed behaviors are functionally different form the relation between a model and an imitative behavior.
