Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Skinner differed from other theorists in his choice of experimental subjects. Some personality theorists focus on emotionally disturbed persons, others on normal or average individuals. Although Skinner's ideas about behavior have been applied to people, the research for his behavioral approach used rats and pigeons.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Skinner did not deny the existence of physiological processes, only their usefulness for science. Since they are not overtly observable, they have no relevance for science. He said, The inside of the organism is irrelevant either as the site of physiological processes or as the locus of mentalistic activities.
