Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Skinner's approach to assessing behavior is called functional analysis and it involves three aspects of behavior. They are: (1) the frequency of the behavior, (2) the situation in which the behavior occurs, and (3) the reinforcement associated with the behavior. Unless these factors have been evaluated, it is not possible to plan and implement a behavior modification program.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Skinner's approach to assessing behavior is called functional analysis and it involves three aspects of behavior. Skinner did not use the typical assessment techniques favored by other theorists. There was no place in his work for free association, dream analysis, or projective techniques.
