Answer to Question 1

Two assumptions: behavioral variability is an intrinsic characteristic of the organism and behavioral variability is distributed randomly among individuals in any given population. The methodological implications of following these assumptions include: the time needed to investigate variability may be time better spent and the practice of averaging the performance of individual subjects within large groups attempting to statistically cancel out variability are both detrimental practices to a science of behavior.

Answer to Question 2

True
