B. F. Skinner was known for using the principles of operant conditioning to train animals to perform complex behaviors. Explain how he may have trained pigeons to play a game of ping pong using the following terms in your response: - shaping and successive approximations
- positive reinforcement
- negative reinforcement
- fixed-ratio and variable-ratio schedules
- positive punishment and negative punishment
- extinction

B.
Additionally, explain why operant conditioning was used to train the pigeons to play ping pong rather than classical conditioning.

Fossils found in strata reveal that a) innate drive to complexity of life b) unused body parts decrease in size c) older strata carry fossils that differ greatly from living organisms d) geologic changes occur quickly on earth

Match the descriptions / definitions with the term they best describe 1. three dimensional relationship of the different polypeptide chains in a multisubunit protein or protein complex 2. common folding pattern in proteins in which a linear sequence of amino acids folds into a right-handed coil stabilized by internal hydrogen-bonding between polypeptide backbone atoms. 3. the amino acid sequence of a protein 4. a region on the surface of a protein that can interact with another molecule through noncovalent bonding. 5. three-dimensional arrangement of alpha-helices and beta-sheets within a single polypeptide, typically stabilized by a variety of noncovalent bonds, including ionic and hydrogen bonds, and nonpolar interactions / hydrophobic force. 6. the chain of repeating carbon and nitrogen atoms, linked by peptide bonds, in a protein. 7. common structural motif in proteins in which different sections of the polypeptide chain run alongside each other and are joined together by hydrogen bonding between atoms of the polypeptide backbone. 8. portion of a polypeptide chain that has a discrete tertiary structure of its own and can often fold independently of the rest of the chain 9. regular local folding patterns in a protein, including alpha-helix and beta-sheet a. primary structure b. beta-sheet c. protein d. coiled-coil e. polypeptide backbone f. secondary structure g. side chain h. tertiary structure i. binding site j. alpha-helix k. quaternary structure l. protein domain
