Answer:

Based on this, you know that Sampson is using the whistle as a <u><em>secondary </em></u> reinforcer to train the dolphins.

Explanation:

Secondary Reinforcement can be described as a condition in which  a stimulus initiates a behavior after being previously associated with a primary reinforcer. A secondary reinforcement is a stimulus that satisfies basic survival instinct such as food, drinks, and clothing.

The same phenomenon was being used by Samson to train his dolphins to perform tasks. The dolphins enjoyed the sound of the whistle because previously that sound was paired to them getting their food.

Why is fishing for some kinds of ocean fish controlled by laws?
lora16 [44]
C is the answer. Due to the current state of the world economy; people, if left to their own devices, would fish as much as possible so they can sell their fish to make money. Current technology means we can catch as many fish as we want (trawlers etc.). The problem with this is that there is only a finite amount of fish in the sea. If we were to fish them without limits in place, we could cause them to go extinct.
