Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

Behaviorism suggests that children are like clay, ready to be molded. It is primarily parents, through patterns of reinforcement and punishment, who are thought to provide this molding. Theorists operating from this biological perspective look at maturation (the predetermined and orderly unfolding of abilities) and ethology examines instinctive or inborn behavior patterns. Behaviorism assumes that the individual will start with few abilities, except for basic learning patterns, based on classical and operant conditioning, responding to the environment while the ethological theorists assume that the individual brings a host of skills to bear from genetic inheritance.
