Studies of cognition show a vast array of cognitive and behavioral processes are “hard-wired” in place. In other words, these processes exist before a child is ever educated. One implication for learning is that students possess what is naturally required to learn something. The implication is that if behavioral processes are “hard-wired” which of the following may NOT be an effective approach with students?
  1. Operant conditioning
  2. Teaching to multiple intelligences
  3. Promoting moral development
  4. Promoting cognitive development
Explanation
Answer: A - Operant conditioning. If behaviors, learning or social, are a “hard-wired” component of the mind, then no amount of conditioning can erase its existence.
