Answer:

Shaping

Explanation:

In psychology, shaping refers to the process of reinforcing successively closer and closer approximations to a desired terminal behavior.

Shaping has different stages:

  1. Reinforce any response that in some way resembles the desired behavior.
  2. Reinforce the response that closely approximates the desired behavior
  3. Reinforce the response that resembles the terminal behavior even more closely.
  4. Continue reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the terminal behavior
  5. Reinforce only the terminal behavior.

As you can see shaping starts by reinforcing any response that resembles the desired terminal behavior and then it finishes by reinforcing only the terminal behavior.

In this example, <u>the therapist initially gave him a piece of chocolate any time he made a sound with his lips</u>. Then <u>he only received a piece of chocolate for saying complete words</u>. Finally, <u>he would get the chocolate for saying complete sentences. </u>

Thus, this is an example of shaping, since the reinforcements where changing as the behavior got closer and closer to the terminal desired behavior.

What evidence supports the claim of the story There Will Come Soft Rains: "Something has happened to the humans that live in the
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Evidence supports the claim:

  • The clock kept saying the time over and over and the house kept preparing food, but no one ate it.
  • No one got up to go to work or school.
  • The house was the only one standing in the neighborhood, which was among dust and ashes.

Explanation:

The name of the story refers to the poem by Sara Teasdale where the idea that nature will survive humanity is transmitted.

It can be interpreted that what happened to the family of the house was that they were exposed to a nuclear explosion, since their figures marked with fire are seen on the side of the house, the same thing happened in Japan after the atomic bomb of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even the poem was published 5 years after this event.

The poem shows an automated house that continues to operate even though there are no longer any people. Keep cleaning, keep cooking and reporting the time, but no one exists anymore.

In fact, this house was the only one left standing in the desolate neighborhood. Even when the house collapses and is almost destroyed, it still has some basic functions.
