Answer to Question 1

Edward associated physical education class with a temporary lack of oxygensomething that frightened him. Lack of oxygen was the UCS; being afraid as a result was the UCR. Physical education class and the boy who ran into him were associated with the lack of oxygen; hence they were CSs. Fearing physical education class and fearing the boy became CRs. In answering this question, it is sufficient to identify one CS and one CR.

Answer to Question 2

Assumptions underlying behaviorism are these
