Cel mai bun prieten al meu,necuvantator,este Max,un catel frumos si pufos.cu blanita roscata si mare. Este pekinez si tare destept si bun. Cand plec la scoala,sta cuminte in fata portii si isi asteapta,rabdator.
Cand simte ca vin,alearga pana la coltul strazii sa ma intampine.
Iar cand sunt trista ma priveste in ochi cu ochii mari,de parca ar vrea sa-mi spuna:
-Linisteste-te,va fi bine!
Answer:
A). Shaping.
Explanation:
As per the given description of Marc's behavior and his mother's attitude to amend his habits exemplify that his mother is employing 'shaping' as it would establish his behavior which was previously not performed. This concept was first defined by B.F. Skinner who was a leading psychologist advocating 'behaviorism'. 'Shaping' is quite commonly employed by teachers and mothers to inculcate or <em>reinforce certain behavior in kids that would help them to perform better and reach nearer to their targets.</em> Similarly, Marc's mother is reinforcing 'successive approximations' to instill a behavioral change in him and attain the desired goal(when Marc begins to do his homework regularly). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
