Instead of studying his spelling words like everyone else, Scott copies from other people when the teacher gives a test. B.F. Skinner would likely attribute Scott’s cheating to a) A genetic tendency to maximize his opportunities for promoting himself above others b) His underdeveloped frontal lobe, which is used in complex decision making and judgment c) The fact that he was rewarded for cheating on a test in the past d) His perception that the test is too difficult, and therefore, his cheating is justified
