Behaviorism which is also called behavioral psychology is a
hypothesis of learning in view that all of our practices are procured through
molding or conditioning. Conditioning happens through communication and
interacting with nature and surroundings. Behaviorists trust that our reactions
to environmental
stimuli are what shape our activities.
Answer: Reinforcement
Explanation:
People learn through different ways. One way of learning is through the process called reinforcement. Reinforcements play a vital role in how fast a behavior is learned. Reinforcement means anything that triggers the likelihood of a response. Skinner proposed the theory of reinforcement.
Reinforcement can be by praising someone or nagging someone in the case of Bobby's mother. If the nagging eventually brings out a response from Bobby making him do the dishes without being told, a reinforcement has been applied.
Answer:
1) short-run aggregate supply decreases
2) short-run aggregate supply decreases
3) short-run aggregate supply increases
Explanation:
An increase in the cost of employer provided health insurance means that firms are paying more for each unit of labor they employ. This is an increase in nominal wages (even if employees don't see this increase in their paychecks!). The result is that is it more expensive to produce so short-run aggregate supply will decrease or shift to the left. Similarly, the bad weather in the Northwest will reduce the availability of lumber and increase the price, making lumber more expensive at any amount. Because lumber is used extensively as an input into the production function, this too will result in a decrease in short-run aggregate supply.
In comparison, a rise in productivity will result in an increase in short-run aggregate supply. Because of the new technology, it now becomes cheaper for Herbert, and the other farmers like him, to produce at any quantity, and so they increase production. Such a shift occurs over the entire economy and will shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the right.
