Answer:

a. differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors

Explanation:

Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors is an approach that involves replacing a problem behavior with a positive behavior by reinforcing and stimulating a positive behavior that cannot be exhibited the same time with the problem behavior. Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors works well especially in cases of people having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) where the individual engages in problem behaviors that inflict injury on the individual.

From the question above, the therapist uses the differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors approach, as he uses praise as a reinforcement to increase the frequency at which Zander chews gum or sticks out his tongue, as these behaviors cannot occur together with the behavior of biting of lips. Chewing of gum, sticking out of tongues are reinforced in order to replace the biting of lips with them.

Natalija [7]

Answer:Maiden Mushroom

Explanation:

Phallus indusiatus, commonly called the bamboo mushrooms, bamboo pith, long net stinkhorn, crinoline stinkhorn or veiled lady, is a fungus in the family Phallaceae, or stinkhorns. It has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical areas, and is found in southern Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Australia, where it grows in woodlands and gardens in rich soil and well-rotted woody material. The fruit body of the fungus is characterised by a conical to bell-shaped cap on a stalk and a delicate lacy "skirt", or indusium, that hangs from beneath the cap and reaches nearly to the ground. First described scientifically in 1798 by French botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat, the species has often been referred to a separate genus Dictyophora along with other Phallus species featuring an indusium. P. indusiatus can be distinguished from other similar species by differences in distribution, size, color, and indusium length.

Mature fruit bodies are up to 25 cm (10 in) tall with a conical to bell-shaped cap that is 1.5–4 cm (0.6–1.6 in) wide. The cap is covered with a greenish-brown spore-containing slime, which attracts flies and other insects that eat the spores and disperse them. An edible mushroom featured as an ingredient in Chinese haute cuisine, it is used in stir-frys and chicken soups. The mushroom, grown commercially and commonly sold in Asian markets, is rich in protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. The mushroom also contains various bioactive compounds, and has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Phallus indusiatus has a recorded history of use in Chinese medicine extending back to the 7th century AD, and features in Nigerian folklore.

When any effort by government causes the supply of a good to rise, what happens to the supply curve for that good?
harina [27]

The correct answer is letter B

Explanation: If the producer expects the price of the product to increase in the future, he tends to offer less today to make a greater profit in the future. The supply curve is positively sloped, because when the price of the good increases, the quantity offered also increases.

1. In computing, there are traditionally two ways for a microprocessor to listen to other devices and communicate: polling and i
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:polling and interrupt

Explanation: polling is a protocol in which the CPU constantly checked if a device request an important attention based on a request. The polling process unit constantly scans the device. Example of polling is when a parallel printer port is pulled to check whether it is ready for another character which involves examining as little as one bit of a byte.

interrupt is a mechanism whereby a device notifies a CPU that it requires a response based on a request. The CPU gets an interrupt signal via an interrupt request line allowing the CPU to spot it's current process and give priority to the interrupt request at that point in time. Example of interrupt is pressing a key on a keyboard which in turn triggers a specific interrupt handler.
