1. Stimulus leads to response which leads to consequence, best illustrates which theory?
- Punishment
- Consequence
- Reinforcement
- Needs
- Hierarchy of needs
2.A basic premise in Social Learning Theory is
- a behaviorist approach to learning
- a person learns through observation rather then through doing.
- events can be learned without being processed
- Consequences of behavior do not influence learning
3.Negative reinforcement
- reduces the likelihood of a behavior.
- increases the likelihood of a behavior.
- requires removal of something unpleasant.
- both A & C.
- both B & C.
4.Which of the following is a "process" theory of motivation?
- ERG theory
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs
- Reinforcement theory
- Both A & B
5.In social learning, theory retention has three phases which are
- attention, symbolic coding, behavioral reproduction.
- recognize, recall, retain.
- attention, motivation, symbolic coding.
- none of the above.
6.Theories are
- useful for model building but impractical for practitioners.
- generally developed by all of us to help us understand how things work in our world.
- concrete steps in the "how to" world.
- useful when they describe a set of facts and develop a logical rationale for what is likely to be true, given those facts.
- both B & D.
7.What are the factors that interact to determine performance?
- Knowledge, skills and attitudes
- Environment, skills, and strategy
- Attitudes, strategy, and motivation
- Motivation, environment, and skills
- Motivation, KSAs, and environment
8.Symbolic coding is
- the second stage of attracting attention
- where you rehearse in your mind how to "do it"
- part of the retention process.
- a design method for assuring learning.
9.The formula for performance (M X KSA X E) suggests
- only two of the three factors need to be favorable to obtain high performance.
- if motivation is high and KSA's are adequate, at least moderate performance will be ahieved.
- if the environment is highly conducive to high performance, then motivation is not very important.
- none of the above are correct.
10.Which of the following statements is true regarding punishment?
- It does not usually reduce the future likelihood of a behavior.
- It is a very effective form of motivation.
- It has the same results as negative reinforcement.
- It is an undesirable training tool.
