<span>Diamond is an evolutionary biologist, interested in adaptations, and he proceeds to speculate that New Guineans exhibit these heightened-mental-activity traits in response to their environment, which presents them with constant and varied challenges. He gets away with it because (1) this statement is buried inside his main thesis, which is in accord with the fundamental dogma (Western superiority is just an accident of geography), and (2) his superior racial  group is non-white, and it's okay to call whites inferior</span>

Eat while you work. Having a healthy snack while you complete your homework, such as fruits or vegetables, can actually sharpen your focus and improve your memory.

Reward yourself for each task accomplished.

Think of the free time you will have to enjoy once your homework is complete.

Two AP Psychology Questions - Best answer and explanation will receive Brainliest 1. High school students complete an essay each
Tasya [4]

Answer to Question 1:

The behaviour of the students who hastily write what they consider a "C" level essay after being repeatedly told they can't make an "A" or "B" is a consequence of Reinforcement.

The answer, therefore, is D.

Explanation:

Reinforcement in behavioural psychology refers to the process of encouraging or entrenching a belief system or pattern of behaviour. It can also be defined as any stimuli which stimulate a thought pattern and engrains the probability of a specific response to a particular stimulus. Reinforcements are usually more effective when it comes from a person of perceived to be in a position of authority.

The high school students were verbally programmed by the instructor, who has the authority to mark their scripts, into thinking they will never be able to make an "A" or a "B".  The result is that the students didn't even try to put in efforts that would have led to an A or a B because even if they did, the instructor has the power to ensure that no one score an "A" or a "B".

The challenge here is not that the students couldn't write "A" grade essays. In their mind, there was no point trying given that the ability lay with the instructor to ensure that what he said will happen. In any case, the instructors intended behavioural response was achieved.

2. The correct answer to the question of Acquisition and Extinction as indicated on the graph is B.

The strength of the response increases then decreases over time.

Acquisition happens when a neutral stimulus turns into a conditioned stimulus.

When a behavior begins to diminish or even disappear completely as a result of the gradual removal of a conditioned response,  extinction is said to have occurred.

Cheers!
