The answer is: C. Unlike fixed interval reinforcement schedules, with variable interval reinforcement schedules, the time between a behavior and the following consequences varies around a specified average.
When the researchers conduct a fixed interval reinforcement schedules , the reward for a certain behavior would be given after a specific amount of time has passed.
When they conduct variable interval reinforcement schedules, the reward will be given within unpredictable time frame. Because the reward time is unpredictable, there is no expectation between the subject after the subject did the desired behavior. This will make the time between a behavior and the following consequences varies around a specified average depending on the subject's characteristic.
Answer:
This best illustrates the importance of "<u>biological predispositions</u>" in associative learning.
Explanation:
Biological predisposition in humans means that there are internal characteristics humans possess that increase their chances of having certain conditions.
The taste aversion (or dislike) someone develops after eating tainted food and falling ill is as a result of <em>associating the stimuli (the taste of the bad food) with the response (falling ill)</em>.
By associating the stimuli with the response, the body learns to stay away from such food in future, to avoid falling ill again.
This indicates that biological predispositions are more important in associative learning than external stimuli (such as; music or the sight of the restaurant).
Is it possible to avoid it? Yes I believe so for certain well developed countries with many resources.
For smaller, underdeveloped countries it would prove possible if population willing to go without the certain product or service. If they have never had it they won't miss it.
That question has many factors to consider.
The answer is: c. The demand for unskilled labor will go down.
When the minimums wage go up, many small business would not be able to afford unskilled labor that they need to maintain their operation. These critics believe that this will directly resulted to an increase in unemployment rate in the country and lead to economic stagnation in the long run.
