Explanation / Answer

Ans. 8 Option D

According to Hull’s Theory, the strength of learned responses depends on the frequency of reinforcement, Magnitude of Reinforcement and Delay of reinforcement.

Ans. 9 Option C

The theory of reinforcement were accepted by Skinner and Pryor both, according to the theory, the reinforcement is a kind of incentive which helps to increase the frequency of learning behaviour.

Ans. 10 Option D

According to Pryor, the reinforcers are relative and depends on the situation in which reinforcement in occurring, so all the statements are true.

Ans. 11 Option C

The quality of reinforcement can change the behaviour and responses immediately, so that in this statement, owner is giving quality reinforcement.

Ans. 12 Option D

The term Jackpot refers to a reward that works as strong reinforcement, jackpot is a kind of stimulus which control the trained behaviour.

Ans. 13 Option D

An aversive stimulus is unpleasant event that is intended to decrease the probability of behaviour when it is presented as a consequence.

Ans. 14 Option C

The stimulus associated with primary reinforce is called secondary reinforcer, this reinforcer increase the effects of primary stimulus.

Ans. 15 Option D

The hallmark feature of extinction lead to forgetting, devaluation and spontaneous recovery.
