Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Animals and humans demonstrate many more complex operant behaviors that have a much lower probability of occurring in the normal course of events. Skinner presented the method of successive approximation, or shaping, so that an experimenter or a parent can reinforce and condition a pigeon or a child to perform behaviors that are not likely to occur spontaneously.
