Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Despite Skinner's focus on studying animal behavior, his work has had wide practical applications for changing human behavior. His behavior-modification techniques are also widely used in schools, businesses, correctional institutions, and hospitals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Skinner's interest was in behavioral responses to stimuli, not in childhood experiences or adult feelings. Responding to stimuli is something animals do well, sometimes better than people do. Thus, he chose animal behavior because it is simpler than human behavior.
