Answer:

Operant conditioning

Explanation:

Jacinda will do a <u>voluntary action</u>, that is to finish all of her application this weekend. She expects that this action will be <u>rewarded </u>by her parents, in the form of praise or at least to get them off her back.

This is an example of Operant conditioning, because a voluntary action is immediately rewarded. Therefore, this behavior is reinforced. A voluntary action, is an action previously thought off and decided to do.
