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>

What usually happenstance an ecosystem after a sudden catastrophic change? <br><br> Please help
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

<u>Succession occurs after sudden catastrophic change. </u>

<u />

Explanation:

In communities, organisms occupy specific niches. These gradually evolve over time as these organisms interact with their geosphere. In ecological succession, a community may undergo several dynamic changes. These include primary succession and secondary succession- these communities eventually try to achieve equilibrium over time.

After catastrophic events, the microorganisms, primary succession occurs. Here, a colonizing species exploits a non-habitable region. These eventually make the region more habitable through nutrient cycling, weathering, etc. which ushers in secondary succession. Here, the communities become more complex with time, becoming more varied and an increasingly large food web.

What does colonizing look like<br> in both types of succession?
maks197457 [2]
Two different types of succession—primary and secondary—have been distinguished. Primary succession occurs in essentially lifeless areas—regions in which the soil is incapable of sustaining life as a result of such factors as lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier.
