Answer: a. a given behavior can be abnormal without being pathological

Explanation:

Abnormal behavior can be defined based on the following considerations:

Culture: each culture has its givens norms and expected behavior and deviating from these can be considered abnormal.

Statistical Measure: common behavior, how the majority of the people in a place, or humans in general behave is usually considered normal behavior.

However, when an individual displays any deviation from the above, it does not indicate pathological behavior. Pathological behavior is a mental  disorder that is considered abnormal.

Giving a rat some food in the same half of the cage as the bar experimenters want it to press is an example of shaping.

<h3>What is shaping?</h3>

A conditioning paradigm known as shaping is frequently used to analyze behavior in experiments. Differential reinforcement of subsequent approximations is the technique utilized. B. F. Skinner first used pigeons to demonstrate it before expanding to include dogs, dolphins, humans, and other species.

By encouraging behaviors that advance toward the desired behavior, shaping affects behavior (operant response). Organisms can be trained to behave in ways that would only sometimes if ever, happen naturally through shaping.

Methods of Shaping Behavior:

  • Positive reinforcement.
  • Negative reinforcement.
  • Punishment.
  • Extinction.
  • Schedules of reinforcement.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C - habituation.

Explanation:

As the exercise explains, when an infant is repeatedly faced or exposed to a visual stimulus, their interest wanes and look away or refuse looking sooner. This decrease in the infant's responsiveness is called habituation. So, in other words, this is a process in which a response decreases as it's exposure is longer or becomes more repeated. There are times where the response is to completely ignore it. To add another example, it could happen that we have or work with a noisy air conditioner. At first we might hear it all the time but, after some time, we would hear it less often, and then less frequently, and then we might even ignore it's complete existance.
