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:
- Reinforce any response that in some way resembles the desired behavior.
- Reinforce the response that closely approximates the desired behavior
- Reinforce the response that resembles the terminal behavior even more closely.
- Continue reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the terminal behavior
- 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.
The correct answer is B. Byron himself
Byron presented his early life in the story of Childe Harold in which he regretted his wasted youth and wished he could change things.
Well I would say that one of the central themes in Ernest Shackleton's South can be analyzing the complexity of the fight between the individuals and the society along with its "norms", in a world where nature is somewhat relentless towards humans. Hope this helped.
