John and Ed were training a puppy, Rosie, to come when called. To do this they stood a
few yards apart from each other. First John would call her and reward her with a treat. Then
Ed would call her and also reward her with a treat. After an hour of running back and forth
between the men, Rosie sat down and would not respond to either the call or the treat.

A rat in a maze has learned a number of different routes to get to the food pellets at the end
of the maze. The different routes vary in length and the rat always chooses the shortest
route. If that route is blocked it chooses the next shortest route. What concept does this

Habit strength toward the stimulus that is reinforced increases with
each reinforcement.
Correct
The magnitude of generalized habit strength is lesser than the
magnitude of generalized inhibition.
Incorrect
When two stimuli are presented, the stimulus with the least net habit
strength will be responded to.
