Question

It is unlikely that the differences between human and nonhuman behavior patterns that are sometimes found with the same reinforcement schedules are a product of different reinforcement histories. True or false?

Answer 1

It is true that it is unlikely that the differences between human and nonhuman behavior patterns that are sometimes found with the same reinforcement schedules are a product of different reinforcement histories.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The behavior pattern as studied through the theory of behavior shows that the different histories of reinforcement create a pattern of different observations although given the same reinforcement with similar parameters and variables in the same period of time between humans and other than human subjects.

The behavioral theory was theorized by Skinner with the statement taking into consideration the reinforcement. When an action is followed by positive reinforcement, it is often seen to be repeated whereas negative reinforcement is not often observed the same.
