Answer:

The correct answer is: Positive reinforcement.

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a technique used in operant conditioning and it consists of rewarding behavior considered positive by using a reinforcer after the subject elicits the behavior.

It follows this schema: Behavior considered positive -----> reward --------> Behavior is more likely to happen again.

Answer:

b) negative reinforcement

Explanation:

Negative reinforcement has to do with rewarding or responding to a certain stimulus or behaviour by respond in a negative or averse manner.

Mary tries to change Pearl's behaviour by refusing to making a comment or responding to Pearl speaking her native language when she's capable of expressing herself in English. They do this so she would learn to speak English more and get used to it.

Pearl's family are using negative reinforcement to try and get her to speak English more often. If she uses her native language, she is ignored and not replied to unless she repeats her words in English. Ignoring her is the averse method her family is using to get her to respond to the stimulus of speaking English.

Phantasy [73]

Answer: All listeners hear the same thing.

Explanation: Although Alex and Jeff were present at the meeting, Jeff seemed not to be certain whether their boss made mention that they should expect layoffs.

Listening is the process of making sense of others' spoken messages. i.e hang on to every word by constructing meaning to what you hear. Obviously in this case, Jeff was giving a different meaning to what he heard the boss say.

This debunks the myth that every one listening hears the same thing .

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Priming

Explanation:

Priming is the response an individual has towards a stimulus according to their previous exposure to it. It is basically a prime or stimulus that will directly affect individuals in a psychological experiment. In this case, the second group was exposed to every day activities, which they have already been exposed to and probably conform their daily routines, thus they react the same way the do to them every day, as mere routine. This is why the first group is more active, as they have been exposed to stimuli that is different than their prime, whereas the second group has not experienced anything "out of the ordinary."
