Student Version

The goal of instruction for the behaviorist is to elicit the desired response from the learner who is presented with a target stimulus. To accomplish this, the learner must know how to execute the proper response, as well as the conditions under which that response should be made. Therefore, instruction is structured around the presentation of the target stimulus and the provision of opportunities for the learner to practice making the proper response.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

Answer 1

Answer: Word-for-Word plagiarism

Explanation: Plagiarism is the use of another's work without attributing credit to them. Although, the student credited the original author, he also used the original author's original text, word-for word without enclosing them in quotes.

To avoid plagiarizing, it is better to understand the idea of a text and then rewrite the same idea with totally different words, and preferably from a different perspective. It is still compulsory to attribute credit to the author, whose idea it is.
