Yes, i have.
There was an aunt of mine who has been diagnosed with late stage of lung cancer. Every hospitals that we went said that there is nothing that they can do execept alleviate the pain for her last moments.
At that time, the whole family decided to tell her that everything is going to be okay and opted for the pain relieving treatment.
At that time, i could see that the whole family is being dishonest, since they now every thing is not going to be okay and considering telling my aunt about it.. But i somehow understand because they do it out of compassion and not because they had harmful intention.
Answer:
acquisition
Explanation:
Acquisition: In psychology, the term "acquisition" was explained by a psychologist named Ivan Pavlov and is defined as the very first stage related to learning in the classical conditioning process through which a specific response is being established.
In other words, the acquisition is described as a period whereby a particular stimulus tends to trigger a specific conditioned response.
Example: In classical conditioning, when a dog begins to salivate after getting associated with the sound of a bell.
In the question above, the given statement signifies the "acquisition" period.
During the age of imperialsm, the economies of European colonies were seen as testing grounds for new and risky technology, due to a number of factors that include the usage of the local environment and conditions, such as climate and soil, or social and political conditions; but also, some of these new technologies were a result of the direct borrowing and adaption of indigenous practices or the use of indigenous knowledge (medicinal plants, for example) being gradually redeveloped by European science.
