Answer:

d) Accompany a punishment with an explanation

Explanation:

Punishment is a term used in psychology and in operant conditioning to refer to any change that occurs after a behavior that reduces the likelihood that that behavior will occur again in the future. Punishment focuses on reducing or eliminating undesired behaviors.

Researchers have found that there are some characteristics that punishments have to meet in order to be more effective:

  1. Punishment is more likely to lead to a reduction in behavior if it immediately follows the behavior.
  2. Punishment achieves greater results when it is consistently applied. This means that it has to be administered every time the undesired behavior occurs.  
  3. One of the greatest drawback is the fact that punishment does not actually offer any information about more appropriate or desired behaviors. So, in order to avoid this, it will be desirable to administer punishment but also to offer additional information on more appropriate or desired behaviors as well as an explanation.

In the example, <u>Shania wants her 5-year-old daughter from pulling the cat's tail (undesired behavior).</u> To do so, and looking at the drawbacks in punishments we saw before, <u>we can say that the most effective way to do so would be </u>d) to accompany a punishment with an explanation. (look at point 3 of explanations)

<em>Note:</em>

<em>a) Would not work because the kid would not get a reinforcement for treating the cat well.</em>

<em>b)Punishment needs to be constantly applied so starting with a mild reprimand and then increase its severity would not work if she wants to IMMEDIATELY stop the behavior.</em>

<em>c) We know that the punishment needs to immediately follows the behavior so this option wouldn't work. </em>

What was the problem amd one reform related to logging practices?
notsponge [240]
Since you don't specify in your question whether you mean any specific region, i will assume that it could be anywhere.

So let's take Indonesia as an example: the reform was only allowing logging in some regions, and not allowing logging outside of these regions.

The  problem with this is that this is hard to implement and despite this prohibition, logging is still widespread everywhere.

Providing harsh criticism to other players is a natural part of being a good leader.
Alla [95]
Providing harsh criticism to other players is a natural part of being a good leader - this is true. The reason for this is that good leaders will often be able to accept a harsh critique coming their way and also be able to give a harsh critique which a player deserves.
