Answer:
high score on an exam for which a student studied diligently.
Explanation:
Operant conditioning can be defined as an associative learning process which involves reinforcing the strength of a behavior.
A reinforcement of a desired behavior involves the process of strengthening a positive behavior being exhibited by an individual through the use of stimulus. Thus, making the behavior to be exhibited in the future by the individual.
Primary reinforcers can be defined as all of the stimulus that are significant biologically to the growth and development of a living organism. Some examples are sleep, food, sex, shelter, water, safety etc.
All of the following are examples of primary reinforcers;
I. A large meal following an extended time without food.
II. Rat's food reward in a Skinner box.
III. Cold drink on a hot day.
IV. Hug from a loved one.
Answer: see explanation below
Explanation: the synapse is the junction between the terminal of a neuron and either another neuron or a muscle or gland cell, over which nerve impulses pass. Typically when the same experiences trigger nerve responses over synapses, they are remembered (strengthened) leading to even faster responses very much like the muscle memory. The NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability, very critical for the development of the central nervous system and various processes vital to learning, memory, and the formation of neural networks during development in the central nervous system (CNS). Since memories are assumed to be represented by vastly interconnected neural circuits in the brain, synaptic plasticity is key to learning and memory. In this, the NMDA receptor is very crucial for controlling synaptic plasticity (the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken, in response to increases or decreases in their activity over time) and memory function.
The correct answer is fulcrum
Explanation: Fulcrum is a point of balance. the closer the fulcrum is to the load, the easier the work will be.
