Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A definition of learning reveals the mechanism a theorist emphasizes: organization of behaviour, behavioural change, stimulus–response connection, or progressive adaptation.
For a matching item, identify the distinctive cue in each definition and link that cue to the theorist associated with it before comparing the offered sequences.
Application
The four definitions can be matched by their distinctive wording:
Definition cue | Proponent | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Organization of behaviour | Garrett | Garrett’s wording uses organization as the identifying cue for this definition. |
Change in behaviour resulting from behaviour | Guilford | Guilford’s formulation uses change in behaviour as the identifying cue. |
Selecting the appropriate response and connecting it with the stimulus | Thorndike | The stimulus–response connection is the identifying cue for Thorndike’s connectionism. |
Progressive behaviour adaptation | Skinner | Skinner’s formulation uses progressive behaviour adaptation as the identifying cue. |
Contrast and cross-check
The sequence (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV) reverses all four established attributions.
The sequence (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I) assigns organization of behaviour to Thorndike and progressive adaptation to Guilford.
The sequence (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) keeps A and D but exchanges the Guilford and Thorndike attributions for B and C.
Therefore, the matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II).
