Answer: Modeling and vicarious reinforcement

Explanation:

When we are modeling a certain behavior from the person we take as our model there are steps we follow, we first pay attention to their behaviour: This is when Sharon notices that Kathy brings the assignment later but still the teacher accept it.

Secondly is retention of the behaviour we have observed: Sharon remembers that Kathy has done this several times then she can also do it which lead us to reproduction , Sharon now execute the same behavior in which she also brings the assignment later as did Kathy. Now lastly is the motivation to copy the behavior which is affected by what happened to the model.

If the behaviour was reinforced, we are more likely to imitate the behaviour this is referred to as vicarious reinforcement. Sharon saw that Kathy never get punished for bringing up her assignment later but the teacher always takes it which motivated her to do the same.

However, if the model got punished for the behavior you are less likely to imitate the behaviour and this is referred to as vicarious punishment.

Answer:

Vicarious reinforcement.

Explanation:

In psychology, vicarious reinforcement refers to our tendency to repeat behaviors which we see others are being rewarded for.

This type of reinforcement takes place when the frequency of certain behaviors increases as a result of observing others do them and being rewarded for them.

In this example, Sharon sees that the teacher accepts Kathy's late assignments because Kathy always has a creative excuse for turning them in late.

So, <u>as a result of observing this behavior (turning the assignment late) being rewarded (the teacher willingly accepts it), Sharon starts to do the same thing and thus </u><u>she is repeating Kathy's behavior. </u>

Thus, this increase in excuse-makins is most likely due to vicarious reinforcement.

Claudio wants to apply to change his student Visa to a work permit Visa. He goes to the ABC Legal Clinic but there are no lawyer
Digiron [165]

Answer:    C) Should give Claudio the answer because the answer to such a question does not entail giving legal advice

Explanation:  Having a middle name or several middle names is quite common and legal, but also not having a middle name is legal. This means that when filling out form a, depending on the state, one can, for example, put the initials N.M.N. (no middle name) or similar. Also, if there is one, the middle name can be indicated in the name by initials. All of this, when filling out the form, you may also ask the salter clerk or anyone who knows this information reliably and not the legal, though if you are in the situation you may as well.

Legal advice as such is given solely by a lawyer, and it concerns important matters when careful analysis of regulations and the law as a whole is needed. No careful analysis is required to fill in a form without a middle name, it is simple to know whether to enter a middle name and what to do if one does not have a middle name. This is simply known by clerk who work on a daily basis to receive completed forms.

An experimenter studies the influence of ingesting sugar on memory. Children are randomly assigned to either a low calorie ice c
asambeis [7]

Answer:

b) The type of cone.

Explanation:

When we do a research, there are two main variables to take into account. These variables are the independent variable and the dependent variable.

  1. The independent variable is the one that we can control as researches and that will have an effect on another variable.
  2. The dependent variable is the one that we don't really have control on and is the one that gets affected by the independent variable.

In this example, the experimenter studies the influence of ingesting sugar on memory.

The variable that the experimenter will control is the cone he will give to children (low calorie or high sugar) and therefore this is the <u>independent variable.</u>

On the other hand, he will later test if there are differences in memory between both groups (by counting the number of trials it will take them to learn new words) this variable, he won't be able to control it, so this is the <u>dependent variable </u>

Thus, the independent variable as we said before will be b) the type of cone.

brainly B. F. Skinner's views on personality differed greatly from Sigmund Freud in that he was not concerned with __________ or
Sholpan [36]

The correct answer is letter D

Skinner (1953/2003), mentions that the "I" seems to be "simply a device to represent a functionally unified response system". That is, certain response patterns can be organized around a given discriminative stimulus to obtain the same reinforcement. Skinner uses the terms "I" and "personality" basically as synonyms. This becomes clear when he proposes that "a self or a personality is, at best, a repertoire of behavior shared by an organized set of contingencies"
