Answer: Discriminative stimulus

Explanation:

A discriminative stimulus is associated with reinforcement or punishment, that exerts control over a particular form of behavior. The subject discriminates between closely related stimuli and elicits a specific behavior only in the presence of that stimulus. T<u>his stimulus increases the probability of a given response</u> because of their historical correlation with the availability of reinforcement for the response.

In this example, the hungry rat gets food if it presses a bar only when the light is on. The rat learns that is most likely to request this food in the future in the presence of this light, because historically, the request has been reinforced in the presence of this light. <u>The light in the example became a discriminative stimulus and it evokes the response.</u>

Explain how the use of a chemical designed to kill grasshoppers could reduce the population of peregrine falcons.
Butoxors [25]
Peregrine falcons have a wide diet, including many types of smaller birds. These birds eat bugs like grasshoppers. So, if the grasshopper population decreases, then the birds who are a food source to peregrine falcons will also have a lower population. This means that there is a lesser amount of food for the peregrine falcons to eat, so their population will decrease as well.
