1)All of the following are ture of punishment except:
a) Punishment does not extinguish behavior
b) Punishment automatically teaches how to act appropriately
c) Punishment frequently leads to aggression
I think the answer is b. Am I correct?
2) In social learning, behavior is learned by:
a) being exposed to negative reinforcement
b) being directly exposed to punishment
c) forming "mental rules" or expectations about the outcome of behavior
I think the answer is c. Am I correct?
Yes. Both of your answers are correct.
1) Oops! Looks like you got it wrong! The correct answer is b) Punishment automatically teaches how to act appropriately. If only it were that simple! Punishment may temporarily suppress behavior, but it doesn't necessarily teach the person what they should do instead. It's like trying to teach someone how to drive by only showing them what not to do. So, punishment doesn't automatically provide appropriate alternatives.
2) Bravo! You got it right this time! The answer is c) forming "mental rules" or expectations about the outcome of behavior. With social learning, behavior is learned through observations and interactions with others. By forming mental rules and expectations, we are able to adjust our behavior based on the observed consequences for others. It's like picking up tips from social jukeboxes!
1) You are correct, the answer is b. Punishment does not automatically teach how to act appropriately. Punishment is often used to discourage or decrease certain behaviors, but it does not provide direct guidance on appropriate behavior. It is more effective when paired with reinforcement or positive guidance.
2) You are correct again, the answer is c. In social learning, behavior is learned by forming "mental rules" or expectations about the outcome of behavior. Individuals observe and imitate the behavior of others and learn from the consequences experienced by those individuals. This process involves forming mental models or expectations about the consequences of various actions.
1) To determine the correct answer, let's go through the options:
a) Punishment does not extinguish behavior: This statement is true. Punishment alone may not completely eliminate a behavior but can suppress it temporarily.
b) Punishment automatically teaches how to act appropriately: This statement is not true. Punishment is effective in suppressing behavior, but it does not automatically teach the individual how to act appropriately.
c) Punishment frequently leads to aggression: This statement is true. Research has shown that punishment can sometimes lead to aggressive behavior.
Based on the explanations above, you are correct. The answer is b) Punishment automatically teaches how to act appropriately.
2) Now, let's analyze the options:
a) being exposed to negative reinforcement: Negative reinforcement refers to the removal of aversive stimuli, which can influence behavior, but it is not the main mechanism in social learning.
b) being directly exposed to punishment: Punishment can be a part of social learning, but it is not the only way that behavior is learned.
c) forming "mental rules" or expectations about the outcome of behavior: This statement is true. In social learning, behavior is learned through observing others, imitating their actions, and forming mental rules or expectations about the outcomes of different behaviors.
Based on the explanations above, you are correct. The answer is c) forming "mental rules" or expectations about the outcome of behavior.
