22. It is the process of acquiring, remembering and applying knowledge, skills, attitude and other modes of response.
A. Education
B. Learning
C. Teaching
D. Development

Notice the last phrase. "Other modes of response" is obviously a behaviorist's statement.

Do not forget that behaviorists define learning as the process of acquiring, remembering and applying what has been observed or predicted from the environment. Therefore, the answer is option B - Learning.

Do not be deceived by option A - Education. Not all those who are educated are learned. One can be learned without having been educated.

Teaching, as we all know, is the process of imparting knowledge, skills, attitude and other modes of response. So, obviously, this is not the answer for this item.

On the other hand, development is the weakest dummy option in this item. We are all aware that development is a biological process. It exists and proceeds regardless of and even in the absence of learning and teaching, not to mention one's lack of education.

23. Behavior changes according to its immediate results: pleasurable results strengthen behavior, unpleasant ones weaken it. What principle of learning is described?
A. Recency
B. Excitation
C. Extinction
D. Reinforcement

The answer for this item is option D - Reinforcement. A behavior has to be reinforced for it to be modified. Negatively or positively reinforced behaviors are more likely to reoccur. Negatively or positively punished behaviors are less likely to occur.

There is no such thing as law or principle of excitation in the realm of pedagogy.

24. A factor which affects learning that emphasizes that learning should be made recent in the minds of the learners so that they will not forget what they have learned.
A. Recency
B. Excitation
C. Extinction
D. Reinforcement

Based on the previous item, option D - Reinforcement - is not the answer for this item. Obviously, it is option A - Recency. All one has to do is to notice how the word "recent" was used in the question.

There is no such thing as law or principle of excitation in the realm of pedagogy.
