b. Stimuli that occur after responses are made are usually more influential on an organism's learning that stimuli that occur before responses are made.
c. The things that organisms learn in a new situation largely override the things that they've learned in previous situations; as a result, newly learned behaviors often replace previously learned behaviors.
d. Learning is more a function of what the environment does to the organism than of what the organism does to the environment; in other words, the organism plays a relatively passive role in the learning process.
