Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: As the infant grows, the positively reinforced behaviors, those of which the parents approve, will persist, whereas those of which the parents disapprove will be extinguished or discontinued.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: The rat's bar-pressing actions can be controlled by presenting or withholding the reinforcers or by presenting them at a different rate. Withholding the food extinguishes operant behavior. If the unreinforced behavior no longer works, in that it no longer brings a reward, after a while it will stop.
