Answer:

This question is incomplete. Here are the missing options:

  • <u>A) absolute threshold </u>
  • B) difference threshold
  • C) human threshold
  • D) sensory threshold

The answer is A) absolute threshold.

Explanation:

The absolute threshold is described as the minimal degree of a stimulus that can be identified by a person or animal. In this example, the researcher is trying to find the absolute threshold for touch, but it also applies for other senses. For example, the absolute threshold for <u>hearing</u> is usually measured by gradually increasing a sound frequency until the person can detect it.

To be considered as an absolute threshold, the subject must identify the stimulus at least 50% of the time.

In western societies, the typical family form is the _____, composed of married parents and their biological or adopted children
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Nuclear family.

Explanation:

A nuclear family typically composes of a husband and wife (married parents) with kids (whether biological or adopted).

While nuclear families percentage has been on a decline through history, it is still the dominant form of family, making up ~18% of all households in more current US history. The downward shift can be attributed to the <em>shift of beliefs against the nuclear family</em>, in which new cultures such as hookup culture and the destruction of traditional masculinity and femininity traits have led to the failure of the man to stay to provide, and causing the single-parent family to spike drastically. The uptick in LGBTQ+ have further led to the deflation of nuclear family levels, and have seen a decline of birthrate by 2-4%.On top of decline in birthrates, families outside of the nuclear family typically see a large percentage of increase in crimes, with single-parent homes seeing a 10% increase for the child to commit crimes.  When people think of non-nuclear families, they typically think of the LGBTQ+ movement, which sees a 5% incarceration rate, <em>2 points higher than the average population.</em>

Gerry, a four-year-old, says, im a fireman putting out the fire! as he holds his grandpas cane like a firehose. gerry is engagin
Ivenika [448]
In this situation, Gerry is engaging in Symbolic play. Symbolic play is the ability of a child to use objects to represent another object (i.e. Gerry using his cane as a fire hose). Symbolic play is not limited to just objects representing other objects. A child can also use actions and ideas to represent other action or idea.

At around pre-school age, (3-5)  children become more creative and imaginative and are able to associate roles with certain actions like how Gerry says he is a fireman as he does the gesture of putting out fire.
