Mr. Loosigian is worried about Jerri, a girl who is struggling in his seventh-grade class. He thinks about several different reasons why she might be having so much difficulty with her schoolwork.
 
  Which one of the reasons he considers is consistent with a behaviorist perspective of learning?
 
   a. Maybe she isn't paying attention as much as she should be.
   b. Maybe I don't praise her enough when she does something well.
   c. Maybe she has trouble understanding the things she reads.
   d. Maybe she has trouble remembering things from one day to the next.

Question 2

You are tutoring a seventh-grade student who is getting poor grades in her classes. After working with her for a week or two you realize that she does not regularly use any effective reading or study strategies.
 
  For the next tutoring session, you decide to teach her some strategies for learning and studying effectively. Choose a content area and something that the student is learning or studying and describe some strategies that you would share with her to help her learn more effectively.
