Shaping
Generalization
#11
Which of the following is NOT a type of reinforcement in operant conditioning?

#12
In behavioral terms, what does 'generalization' refer to?

#14
In the context of operant conditioning, what distinguishes 'punishment' from 'reinforcement'?
Punishment decreases a behavior, while reinforcement increases it
Punishment is always physical, while reinforcement is not
Punishment can only be applied to animals, while reinforcement can be applied to both animals and humans
Punishment increases a behavior, while reinforcement decreases it

#18
Which method is primarily used in behavior therapy to treat phobias?
Dream analysis
Free association
Systematic desensitization
Transference
#19
In operant conditioning, what is the difference between 'primary' and 'secondary' reinforcers?
Primary reinforcers satisfy biological needs, while secondary reinforcers have learned value
Primary reinforcers have learned value, while secondary reinforcers satisfy biological needs
Primary reinforcers are used for humans, while secondary reinforcers are used for animals
There is no significant difference; the terms are interchangeable
#20
According to the behavioral perspective, personality development is primarily influenced by

Cognitive processes
#22
According to behaviorism, what is the role of genetics in personality development?
Genetics plays a minimal role; behavior is solely shaped by environmental factors
Genetics is the primary determinant of personality traits
Genetics and environmental factors interact to influence personality
Genetics has no impact on personality
#23
According to B.F. Skinner, what is the significance of 'schedules of reinforcement'?
They determine the timing of reinforcement in classical conditioning
They influence the likelihood and rate of operant conditioning
They are related to the concept of observational learning
They are irrelevant in behaviorism
#24
Which theorist proposed the concept of 'conditioned emotional responses'?
John B. Watson
Sigmund Freud
Abraham Maslow
Carl Rogers
#25
What does the concept of 'self-regulation' refer to in the context of social cognitive theory?
