Answer to Question 1

In classical conditioning, individuals learn to associate a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus
and come to respond in the same way to the neutral stimulus as they naturally responded to the
meaningful stimulus. In operant conditioning, individuals increase their behavior when it is frequently
paired with a reinforcer and decrease their behavior when it is frequently paired with a punishment.
Examples will vary.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary, but students should demonstrate an understanding that one needs to reinforce the
roommate whenever she does make her bed (or does any behavior that is in the direction of that
end).
