Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Behaviors that result in change within a subsystem, even when it is stable, could be either adaptive or maladaptive behaviors. This statement, therefore, is incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
That there is a basic relationship between stimulus and response is an assumption of a behavioral theory model. The connection between a stimulus and a response is strengthened or weakened by the consequences of the response.
