Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This child is able to discriminate between stimuli. This child can predict with assurance that asking mother (not father) will result in a desired response.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In a token economy, tokens are a form of contingency contracting in that tokens immediately reinforce appropriate behavior (completed homework) and are exchanged later for a desired reward.
