Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: The ability to exert control over the variables that determine our behavior is called self-control. According to Skinner, behavior is controlled and modified by variables that are external to the organism.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Superstitious behaviors are persistent behaviors that have a coincidental and not a functional relationship to the reinforcement received. With short intervals between reinforcers, superstitious behaviors are learned quickly.
