Answer:

Shaping

Explanation:

In psychology, shaping refers to the process of reinforcing successively closer and closer approximations to a desired terminal behavior.

Shaping has different stages:

  1. Reinforce any response that in some way resembles the desired behavior.
  2. Reinforce the response that closely approximates the desired behavior
  3. Reinforce the response that resembles the terminal behavior even more closely.
  4. Continue reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the terminal behavior
  5. Reinforce only the terminal behavior.

As you can see shaping starts by reinforcing any response that resembles the desired terminal behavior and then it finishes by reinforcing only the terminal behavior.

In this example, <u>the therapist initially gave him a piece of chocolate any time he made a sound with his lips</u>. Then <u>he only received a piece of chocolate for saying complete words</u>. Finally, <u>he would get the chocolate for saying complete sentences. </u>

Thus, this is an example of shaping, since the reinforcements where changing as the behavior got closer and closer to the terminal desired behavior.

Which excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone shows a cause-and-effect relationship? “The group traveled up the Nile in two
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

<em>Once they had mastered the three kinds of Egyptian writing, nineteenth-century scholars had the key to more than three thousand years of Egyptian history.</em>

Explanation:

The cause-and-effect relationship is a type of relationship where one thing or event makes another one happen. The first thing/event is referred to as the cause, and its consequence is the effect.

The excerpt from<em> The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone </em>that shows this relationship is the fourth one: <em>Once they had mastered the three kinds of Egyptian writing, nineteenth-century scholars had the key to more than three thousand years of Egyptian history.</em>

We have two events - the 19th-century scholars mastering the three kinds of Egyptian writing, and them having the key to more than three thousand years of Egyptian history. The former is the cause of the latter: if they didn't master Egyptian writing, they wouldn't know that much about Egyptian history.
