Answer:

Time was ego-centered, but reversed from Western cultures (i.e. the future is indicated by pointing backward and the past is indicated by pointing forward).

Explanation:

The Aymara, an indigenous group in the Andes highlands around Bolivia, Chile. They are said to have a time concept that is different from our own. Certain novel studies were made scientists to uncover the facts that the Aymara consider the past to be ahead and the future behind them. Time was mapped with the properties of space.

Which statement about Edward C. Tolman is incorrect? He disagreed with John B. Watson and B. F. Skinner. He found that emotions
Zielflug [23.3K]

The correct answer is He found that emotions can be a conditioned response.

Tolman was influenced by the theoretical and experimental legacy of Thorndike, Watson and Gestalt psychologists. Whereas, in philosophical terms, he started his career under the aegis of Perry and Holt's neorealism (Lopes, 2008). These multiple influences, combined with the diversity, evolution and longevity of his work, make it difficult to classify his system based on broad labels such as behaviorism or cognitiveness (Santana & Borba, 2015).

In his first presentation of his explanatory system, Tolman (1922) addresses the problem of proposing an explanation that reconciles the need for an observable and measurable phenomenon like behavior - as opposed to introspectionist psychology - with a theory that encompasses behavioral functions not reducible to physiology , but that address the relationships between organism and environment capable of generating a “transformation factor” (Tolman, 1922), or that understand the behavior of each organism from its motivations and effects in a context.

Akimi4 [234]

b. southern economy almost completely shut down.

The Civil War impacted the Southern economy but not the rest of the country. With the loss of labor and destruction of plantations and farms, the South's economy stood still.

During Reconstruction, rebuilding of the South's economy began. Some farms and plantations were able to rebuild but had to reorganize if they had lost labor. The former slaves often became tenant farmers or sharecroppers with no where else to go and the skills needed to work on plantations. Other areas of the South began to industrialize in a program called the "New South".
