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.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1- Always check the source of the information

2- Be wary of very radical news that were not given by major news portals.

3- Check the publication dates

4- Check if the headline of the news is not just a clickbait.

Explanation:

It is necessary to analyze a piece of news very well before spreading it. The speed of information circulating on the internet can motivate the emergence of fake news, which are fake news usually with radical positions that impact people and are quickly shared by a large number of people, becoming viral and often causing fear and panic in different people due to the content of the message. Fake news can be created by hackers who invent impactful titles to get many clicks on malware links, which can have severe consequences for those who access them.

Therefore, it is ideal to always check the source of the news and confirm its veracity before sending it to your contacts, it is also important to check the publication dates and the full content of the news, so only send them if you are sure that this news is real.

Explanation:

I think this may be the answer because lion and witches can be seen as scary things. However, in this poem they say that no lions or witches scared them, which means there is no threat. It is the opposite of scary, it is calming. Reading is full of surprises for the person in the poem.
