Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: At a higher level to reflexive behavior is respondent behavior that is learned. This learning, called conditioning, involves the substitution of one stimulus for another. The concept originated in the work of the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov in the early 1900s. In his experiment, a dog had been conditioned, or trained, to respond to a bell. The dog's response shifted from the food to the bell, which previously had been a neutral stimulus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Skinner distinguished between two kinds of behavior: respondent behavior and operant behavior. Respondent behavior involves a response made to or elicited by a specific stimulus.
