Eight-year-old Amy always seems to be in overdriveshe has trouble sitting still for any length of time. Her teacher occasionally gives her short breaks in which she can get up and move around a bit as a way of releasing pent-up energy. Such breaks occur unpredictably, without regard for whether Amy is behaving appropriately or inappropriately at the time. Research indicates that such noncontingent reinforcement:
 
  a. May improve Amy's behavior somewhat, but she will likely not replace the inappropriate behaviors with appropriate behaviors.
  b. Is likely to make Amy's behavior worse
  c. Will probably lead to behavioral contrast
  d. Will confuse Amy and significantly increase her anxiety about classroom tasks

Question 2

An essential element of a contingency contract in the classroom is that:
 
  a. Behaviors are reinforced at least once a day.
  b. Every student receives the same reinforcer.
  c. Both teacher and student agree upon the desired behavior and its consequence.
  d. Every student has a contract concerning the same behavior.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
