Answer:

the bystander effect.

Explanation:

According to the bystander effect one is less likely to help a person when there number of people in the vicinity is high.

The reasons why this happens is due to three factors, diffusion of responsibility, ambiguity and behaving according to social norms.

  • Diffusion of responsibility

When there are a lot of people around one might think that someone else will take the responsibility of taking action. This may happen as one might think that someone else might be better suited to handle the situation

  • Ambiguity

If the situation is not clearly understood by the bystander then they will be less likely to help.

  • Social norms

One might think if they would help it would be going against the social norms and hence hesitate to do so.

Here, Mr. Hughes has decided not to help because of the diffusion of responsibility.

Hence, his reaction illustrates the bystander effect.

Answer:

B.F Skinner´s studies led him to the idea that children learn language through operant conditioning. Applying positive reinforcement when a child uses a word correctly helps him to learn the association between that word and its meanings.

Explanation:

Celebrating a child for producing sounds that are close to a word reassures him and makes him repeat it. On the other hand, ignoring sounds that aren´t similar to any words makes the child forget about them. Based on his theory, Skinner developed a teaching process for language development based on the reinforcement of correct use of language. Let's imagine a child that says the word "milk" or a sound similar to that word. If he´s given milk after that and praised about it, he will learn the relationship between the word and its meaning and develop a language based on that information.
