EPPP Psychology

Answer: A - B.F. Skinner’s theory states that the acquisition of new knowledge and behaviors is central to human development. To develop, humans have to gain new knowledge and behaviors. For example, to gain the benefits of socialization with other people, a child learns to be helpful and generous. Helpful behavior encourages others to offer help in return. Similarly, gaining new knowledge through study or training develops a person’s work skills and earning potential.
