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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
