Answer:

Darren is using C. shaping to get his son to eat his peas.

Explanation:

Shaping is a tactic used within Operant Conditioning, which is understood as the process for a subject to <em>acquire a certain behavior</em> through reinforcements.

Shaping occurs when the reinforcements occur during a successive pattern of the behavior, not only whenever a behavior is present.

We can see it clearly in this example; Darren <em>slowly starts to praise </em>(reinforce) his son's behaviors, <em>gradually moving</em> from moving his fork towards the peas until he moves the fork with the pea to its mouth.

noname [10]

Answer:

To estimate the number of phone calls that will be placed next Monday between 10:30 A.M. and noon.

Explanation:

                      Whenever someone makes a call from a cellular telephone, the carrier stores some data as well as some meta data.

                       The caller's voice and also the voice of the calling person are stored by the carrier as the data. The metadata are the information stored by the carrier are the phone numbers of both the participants and the time as well as the place of calling.
