Answer:

The parents are using punishment to suppress the screaming; their use of punishment is negatively reinforced by the cessation of screaming.

Explanation:

Punishment: In psychology, the term "punishment" is determined as one of the concepts of operant conditioning which was proposed by B. F. Skinner. Punishment referred to any specific changes in an organism's (human beings & animals) environmental surrounding that tends to occur only when a particular response or behavior is being provided and generally reduces the response or behavior to occur again in the future.

Punishment is of two types i.e, negative and positive punishment.

In the question above, the given statement represents the negative punishment (decreases an unwanted behavior by removing a desired thing).

What type of contraction involves the development of tension but no change in length?.
valentinak56 [21]

An isometric contraction is the kind of contraction that leads to development of tension but no increase in length.

An isometric contraction occurs as the muscle produces tension without changing the angle of a skeletal joint. Isometric contraction is a static muscle action that helps to maintain the posture. For example, the antigravity muscles. It occurs in the biceps when the arms may be holding a weight. In such a posture, the biceps enlarge due to holding of weight and produces tension but do no increase in length. It stops the flexion of elbow. In such contraction, no work is done, and lesser amount of heat energy is released in comparison to isotonic contractions.
