Answer:

Even if we seem to hold our gaze, our eyes move constantly.

Explanation:

According to the old saying, the eyes are windows into the soul, revealing deep emotions that we might otherwise want to hide. Although modern science precludes the existence of the soul, it does suggest that there is a kernel of truth in this saying: it turns out the eyes not only reflect what is happening in the brain but may also influence how we remember things and make decisions.

Our eyes are constantly moving, and while some of those movements are under conscious control, many of them occur subconsciously. When we read, for instance, we make a series of very quick eye movements called saccades that fixate rapidly on one word after another. When we enter a room, we make larger sweeping saccades as we gaze around. Then there are the small, involuntary eye movements we make as we walk, to compensate for the movement of our head and stabilise our view of the world. And, of course, our eyes dart around during the ‘rapid eye movement’ (REM) phase of sleep.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

d) Accompany a punishment with an explanation

Explanation:

Punishment is a term used in psychology and in operant conditioning to refer to any change that occurs after a behavior that reduces the likelihood that that behavior will occur again in the future. Punishment focuses on reducing or eliminating undesired behaviors.

Researchers have found that there are some characteristics that punishments have to meet in order to be more effective:

  1. Punishment is more likely to lead to a reduction in behavior if it immediately follows the behavior.
  2. Punishment achieves greater results when it is consistently applied. This means that it has to be administered every time the undesired behavior occurs.  
  3. One of the greatest drawback is the fact that punishment does not actually offer any information about more appropriate or desired behaviors. So, in order to avoid this, it will be desirable to administer punishment but also to offer additional information on more appropriate or desired behaviors as well as an explanation.

In the example, <u>Shania wants her 5-year-old daughter from pulling the cat's tail (undesired behavior).</u> To do so, and looking at the drawbacks in punishments we saw before, <u>we can say that the most effective way to do so would be </u>d) to accompany a punishment with an explanation. (look at point 3 of explanations)

<em>Note:</em>

<em>a) Would not work because the kid would not get a reinforcement for treating the cat well.</em>

<em>b)Punishment needs to be constantly applied so starting with a mild reprimand and then increase its severity would not work if she wants to IMMEDIATELY stop the behavior.</em>

<em>c) We know that the punishment needs to immediately follows the behavior so this option wouldn't work. </em>

How much work must a development team do to a product backlog item it selects for a sprint?
wlad13 [49]

The sprint's purpose was defined by the product owner, and the Product Backlog items would aid in achieving these goals. It will perform as much as it has instructed the Product Owner for each Product Backlog item it picks in accordance with the definition of development.

The development team forecasts the volume, but the scrum team creates a sprint goal.

  • They choose product backlog development items that will aid in meeting the Sprint goal based on the product owner's participation; they build the system for distributing the selected Product backlog items.

A sprint backlog is a subset of the product backlog development that a team wants to produce during a sprint in order to meet the sprint objective and advance toward a satisfactory conclusion.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The hammer, anvil, and stirrup in Tina's ears were not performing their functions.            

Explanation:

Tina was born with a hearing deficiency.

The hammer, anvil and stirrup are collectively called as middle ear ossicles. Hammer is also known as malleus. Another name of anvil is incus and stirrup is stapes.

They are located at the middle ear between the cochlea and the eardrum.

When a sound hits the surface of the ear drum, it vibrates. It makes the middle ear ossicles to motions. One end of hammer is attached to the eardrum while the other end is connected to the anvil. The anvil is then connected with the stirrup.

All these three units sends the sound signal to the inner ear.

Thus Dr. Albert while treating Tina concluded that ---

The hammer, anvil, and stirrup in Tina's ears were not performing their functions.
