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>

If earth tides decreased what would be the most likely explanation?
WINSTONCH [101]
<span>If the earth tides are decreased, the explanation would likely be: the gravitational attraction decreases as the earth moved farther from the sun, thus, affecting the tide. On the other hand, if the gravitational pull increases, it would mean that the earth tide would also increase. Remember, the two major factors that influences earth tides are: gravitational pull of the moon and of course, the sun.</span>
