Answer:b) shaping

Explanation:

When an organism is taught a new behavior by gradually reinforcing behavior that is in close approximation to the desired behavior, until the behavior is completely learnt. The desired behaviour here is that the rat must eventual touch the lever but to get there small approximate behavior are slowly reinforced starting with first getting it close to the lever first , then when it has leaned that it can then be taught to stand until the desired behavior can be finally introduced.

So a subject is slowly and slowly taught behaviours that may lead it to the final required behavior.

Answer:

The answer is b) shaping.

Explanation:

In this processs, the subject is exposed to a gradual change of stimuli in order to shape its behaviour. This is done through <u>succesive approximations</u>, which means the subject's behaviour is reinforced according to slightly different tasks.

For example, a rat is reinforced <u>only</u> after turning a lever. After it does the task regularly, the expected behaviour will be slightly different (e.g. reinforced <u>only</u> after standing at a certain distance from the lever).

nalin [4]

Answer:Right Speech

Explanation:

The Buddha focused openly on how how we can positively influence our own speech and verbal interaction in a way that ensures that it yields positivity. Right speech which is also referred to as Virtuous Speech or Wise Speech refers to a speech which yields peace and happiness in our lives and those around us.

The Buddha precisely defines the right speech as abstinence from harsh,malicious , and false speech.

Which means we must not speak false information that may bring conflict amongst people , we must not use sweating and hostile words and must not gossip. He believed speaking the truth is what brings us harmony and speaking kindly.

Attributing bigoted opinions to sources other than prejudice and/or expressing biased attitudes in some "safe" areas but not pub
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

This is a part of modern racism.

Explanation:

Modern racism is a subtle form of racism, expressed in a more indirect way. It is still based primarily on prejudice but the individual carrying it out tends to be more indirect about it, such as avoiding going to places where he/she knows certain races will be, for example.

In this case, the bigoted opinions and expression of biased attitudes in safe areas but not publicly is a form of modern racism because it is not a direct form but rather indirect and subtle.

Do you think it is important to study English? Give your opinion and explain why or why not.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: Wouldn't go past High School English and here is why.

Explanation:

English takes a majority in our world today, it will always be spoken, whether 1% of the time or 5%. It has been integrated into our daily lives that even not knowing how to properly speak it is looked down upon. I believes studying English is essentially and will be for centuries to come, but the depth of studying the subject shouldn't go past High School level which incorporates poetic and descriptive inferences through words.

At least that's what I've gotten from it.
