The Abolitionist movement in the United States of America was an effort to end slavery in a nation that valued personal freedom and believed “all men are created equal.” Over time, abolitionists grew more strident in their demands, and slave owners entrenched in response, fueling regional divisiveness that ultimately led to the American Civil War.
Answer:
a) spontaneous recovery
Explanation:
In classical conditioning, the term spontaneous recovery is defined as the reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response. In other words, the conditioned response is back after it was thought to have disappeared.
In this example, Marjoe trained his dog that whenever it saw a photo of the cat next door, he'd receive a treat. The dog was conditioned to <u>start salivating (conditioned response)</u> whenever he saw the<u> photo of the cat (conditioned stimulus). </u>Then Marjoe extinguished the conditioned response by presenting the photo without the treat. However, <u>a week later, when he hold up the photo of the cat, the dog started to salivate</u>.
That is, <u>he came up with the conditioned response after a rest period, </u>so he presented the response when Marjoe thought it had disappeared.
Thus, this is an example of spontaneous recovery.
<u>Note: </u>
<u>b) Stimulus discrimination refers to the capacity to recognize one specific stimulus among others.</u>
<u>c) Stimulus generalization refers to the fact that the response appears with similar stimulus but not with only one (the dog would salivate with any picture of cats)</u>
Sometimes the programs shown television or the movies depict
certain lifestyles that may impact our views on life. Sometimes the influence is so strong that we
tend to imitate what we see from them. This shows how great the influence of
media has in our lives.
Answer:
a) It takes a condition to be the effect of something that has happened only after the condition already existed.
Explanation:
A senator, near the end of his first six-year term and running for reelection, made the claim: "Citizens of our state are thriving. While national unemployment levels have remained high, our state unemployment rate has been at astonishingly low levels for eleven years running. Clearly, everyone in our state has benefitted from the economical packages I have introduced during my time in the Senate. Therefore, grateful citizens of our state ought to vote for my second term."
This argument is most vulnerable to what criticism? It takes a condition to be the effect of something that has happened only after the condition already existed.The senator's argument says that the condition which is low unemployment in the state is the effect of his economic packages, but the condition existed before he ever had the chance to introduce those packages. That is the major flaw of this argument.
