As part of an experiment, James is told that he can earn money by pushing a key on an FI 60-sec schedule of reinforcement. James pushes the response key at a blistering pace throughout the interval between reinforcers. In this scenario, it is likely that James:
 
  A) has realized that this is the only way to attain all the reinforcers.
  B) was previously exposed to an FT 60-sec schedule.
  C) has assumed that he can attain more reinforcers by emitting more responses than needed.
  D) developed the behavior of pushing keys gradually.

Question 2

  A) culture
  B) rules
  C) observational learning

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Adults are resistant to the bacterium that causes Botulism. These bacteria thrive in honey – therefore, honey should never be given to infants since their immune systems are not yet resistant.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

As the western states of America were settled, pioneers often had to drink rancid water from ponds and other sources. This often resulted in chronic diarrhea, causing many cases of dehydration and death that could have been avoided if clean water had been available.
