Answer:

Operant Conditioning

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question you seem to be applying the principles of Operant Conditioning. This is a learning method designed by American psychologist and Behaviorist Burrhus Frederic Skinner in 1938, in which different behaviors are met with either a reward or a punishment in order to encourage or deter certain behaviors. Which is what you seem to be doing with Ralph by reinforcing a behavior with a candy bar or deterring it with a squirt gun.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

What is your personal definition of learning? How do your ideas about learning compare with the definition of learning presented
algol [13]

Answer:

The answer to this question, and especially the text that your question aludes to, can be found on the lumenlearning website, and it says this: that all beings have a three-step process of learning that explains how an organism develops the capacities to behave and act accordingly, depending on the conditions around it. These three steps are: classical conditioning (Pavlovian conditioning), operant conditioning, and finally, observation. All organisms go through these steps to learn how to behave and act in an environment.

Classical conditioning is simply the way that an organism is taught how to respond by association. As an organism experiences its environment, it observes different events and learns how to associate cause and consequence, or responses, to stimuli. During operant conditioning, an organism also associates and also learns that producing a behavior brings either reward, or punishment, and observation is how an organism learns to act through observation and imitation of others.

To me, learning is a much more complex process, in which, all the experiences taken in by an organism, the environment, and also genetics, play all a role together in the way this organism processes all and acquires knowledge and produces responses to that knowledge. But I agree with these theories that all organisms go through steps. You see it with babies. They first learn to act through what they observe, but as intelligent and sapient beings, they too can learn to produce behavior outside of what was observed, or conditioned in them. So, in animals and other beings the three steps mentioned above might work, but not necessarily in humans.

(PEARL HARBOR JAPANESE)
Blababa [14]
<span>1. The majority of American people had a nonchalant attitude towards America's involvement in the war before the fateful day of the Pearl Harbor bombing on December 7, 1941. They were aware that a war was going on but did not feel its reality until that incident. It united the nation overnight. Every citizen was then thinking of how to contribute to winning the war. Even the industry was focused on manufacturing war equipment, car production in Detroit was put to a halt for the manufacturers to start producing planes instead of cars, and the media also became focused on the war, movies and news centred on World War II. 
2. The Pearl Harbor military base was, of course, destroyed right after the attack, the human casualties was a staggering 2,335, the destroyed and damaged ships, submarines, aircraft, and cruisers were a great loss to America's armada. However, the Pearl Harbor now represents a memento of how the nation acted and became united during the 2nd World War, it has remained an American Naval Base, which is also open to civilians to visit especially on Pearl Harbor Day.</span>
