Sharon has learned that her language arts teacher answers her questions willingly but that her biology teacher discourages questions. Sharon therefore asks questions in language arts but not in biology. In behaviorist terminology, Sharon is:

  c. on a fixed interval schedule
  d. under stimulus control

Question 2

John and Bill have both learned that when they whine and complain, their teacher will hurry over to see what's wrong. John's teacher gives him attention every time he complains. However, Bill's teacher gives him attention only on some of the occasions he complains. Both teachers eventually realize that they are reinforcing the boys for inappropriate behavior and so both stop attending to the boys when they whine and complain. From a behaviorist perspective, we can predict that:
 
  a. Both boys will whine and complain even more than before.
  b. Both boys will stop their whining and complaining almost immediately.
  c. Bill's complaining will decrease more rapidly than John's.
  d. John's complaining will decrease more rapidly than Bill's.
