Question 2

Which one of the following statements best reflects behaviorists' notion of tabula rasa (blank slate)?
 
  a. Organisms inherit few predispositions to behave in particular ways; instead, the behaviors they exhibit are largely the result of environmental experiences.
  b. Stimuli that occur after responses are made are usually more influential on an organism's learning that stimuli that occur before responses are made.
  c. The things that organisms learn in a new situation largely override the things that they've learned in previous situations; as a result, newly learned behaviors often replace previously learned behaviors.
  d. Learning is more a function of what the environment does to the organism than of what the organism does to the environment; in other words, the organism plays a relatively passive role in the learning process.
