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.
