Matthew frequently hits other children during class. However, he never hits other kids when he knows the teacher is observing him. This is an example of:
 
  a. self-monitoring
 b. reactivity
 c. behavior modification
 d. controlled behavior

Question 2

Jesse is constantly going into mom's purse to get gum. Mom finds this behavior annoying and inappropriate and decides if she ignores Jesse the behavior will stop. What is most likely to happen to Jesse's purse rummaging behavior? What would you tell Jesse's mother to do to eliminate this behavior?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Jesse is most likely going to continue to rummage in his mother's purse for gum. To eliminate Jesse rummaging in his mother's purse, his mother would need to stop carrying gum in her purse so that Jesse's behavior would not be reinforced.
