Answer 1

Answer:

Premack principle

Explanation:

The premack principle states that am individual will engage in less probable behaviour so that he can engage in more probable behavior. In essence the more probable behaviour or activity reinforces the less probable behaviour or activity. Parents use this very often to make their children engage in more positive and beneficial activities by making them do those beneficial activities first before doing their(the child) preferred activities. This is shown in the above example where a mother tells her child not to play until she finishes her homework. The child would therefore do her homework so that she can play.
