Question

The second grade team is concerned about the sloppy work their students are turning in, so they implement a reinforcement scheme to promote neater work. In the process, each time they turn in a neatly written paper, Mrs. Oakes gives them a star. Mrs. Barber gives stars after they turn in three neatly done assignments in a row. They implement this process for a month and then they both stop giving the stars. Research patterns indicate which of the following is most likely to be correct?
A) Neat work will appear sooner in Mrs. Oakes's class and will remain neat longer.B) Neat work will appear sooner in Mrs. Oakes's class but will also become sloppy again sooner.C) Neat work will appear sooner in Mrs. Barber's class and will remain neat longer.D) Neat work will appear at about the same time in both classes but will remain longer in Mrs. Barber's class.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Neat work will appear sooner in Mrs. Oakes's class and will remain neat longer.

Mrs. Oakes's strategy by giving a star to each neatly written paper will add value to each task well done. Certainly more high quality written paper will be done.
