2. Generalization is a by-product of learning that nearly always occurs spontaneously.
3. Harriet gives a monkey a choice between two blocks of wood, one rough and the other smooth. If the animal selects the rough block, it receives a raisin; if it picks the smooth one, it receives nothing. When the animal regularly picks the rough block, Harriet give the animal a choice between the rough block of wood and a new block of would that is even rougher than the first. You predict that the monkey will

4. In the Dweck and Repucci study, teachers asked students to work on unsolvable problems, and then on problems that could be solved. They failed to solve the second set of problems, but were able to solve similar problems when the problems were presented .
5. An                   is a stimulus that indicates that a particular behavior will be reinforced.
6. Providing different consequences for different responses can enhance discrimination training. This finding is called the                                                                       .
7. An SD is analogous to a                   .
8. The flatter the generalization curve, the greater the degree of generalization.
9. According to your text, mental rotation data are best viewed as evidence of                                     .
10. When a behavior reliably occurs in the presence of an SD, but not in the presence of an S-, we can say the behavior is                                                                       .
