What matters to Amadou is the number of cacao pods he and his younger brother, Seydou, can chop down in a day. The boys wanted to make money to help their impoverished family. It helps Amadou to become determined in doing so because the higher they can make, the closer they are to paying off their debt and returning home.
Answer:
B) Faulty stimulus control.
Explanation:
This term is a psychological term which directly explains when a target behaviour is seen to come under the restriction control of certain irrelevant stimulus that are tagged to be antecedent. It sometimes forms a description of situations in which a behavior is triggered by the presence or absence of some stimulus. This is easily seen when a person loves to always eats when watching TV, then (in the operant conditioning use of the term) eating behavior is controlled by the stimulus of watching TV. Also some certain behaviors of lab animals are easily brought under control of such stimuli, and that is where the concept of stimulus control originated. Therefore, in this case, a lot of behavior is controlled by signals, which are antecedents to behavior, not consequences.
