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.
