The study found that infants crossed the cliff when their mothers encouraged them to do so.

In this 1960 study by psychologists Eleanor J. Gibson and Richard D. Walk, infants aged 6 to 14 months are placed at one end of the runway and their parent stands at the other end of the plexiglas surface. The idea is to evaluate the child's perception of height and depth: if they perceived the visual (simulated) cliff, and if they became scared of it, they would be reluctant to crawl over to their parent.

An overwhelming majority (27 out of 36 children tested) crossed the surface, motivated by their parent's stimulus.

Which of the following pieces of evidence would best support an argument in favor of a teen curfew?
Tanzania [10]

The answer is: a newspaper article describing reduced crime rates in cities with teen curfews.

This piece of evidence would best support an argument in favor of a teen curfew because it is based in facts, not opinions, and it shows that other places that have established teen curfews have had positive results because of it. Therefore, there is evidence to asume the possibility that if teen curfew is established in other cities, it would get the same positive results.

An onlilne poll of comunity members and an interview with a parent would serve as evidence when studying how the community feels about teen curfew but not as evidence in an argument in favor of teen curfew because the data would be biased.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Better-educated people make their coworkers more productive.

Explanation:

Hence, external benefit of education is the educational benefit given to a party, that is not actual part of the educational activity or process, such as making people around the educated individual to be productive or informative.

Hence, in this case, the external benefit of education is "Better -Educated people make their coworkers more productive", as those coworkers and the company at large, are benefiting from the educated individual.
