Economists divide the factors of production into four categories: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. The first factor of production is land, but this includes any natural resource used to produce goods and services.The second factor of production is labor. Labor is the effort that people contribute to the production of goods and services. Labor resources include the work done by the waiter who brings your food at a local restaurant as well as the engineer who designed the bus that transports you to school.The third factor of production is capital. Think of capital as the machinery, tools and buildings humans use to produce goods and services. Some common examples of capital include hammers, forklifts, conveyer belts, computers, and delivery vans. The fourth factor of production is entrepreneurship. An entrepreneur is a person who combines the other factors of production - land, labor, and capital - to earn a profit. The most successful entrepreneurs are innovators who find new ways produce goods and services or who develop new goods and services to bring to market. Without the entrepreneur combining land, labor, and capital in new ways, many of the innovations we see around us would not exist. Think of the entrepreneurship of Henry Ford or Bill Gates. Entrepreneurs are a vital engine of economic growth helping to build some of the largest firms in the world as well as some of the small businesses in your neighborhood. Entrepreneurs thrive in economies where they have the freedom to start businesses and buy resources freely. The payment to entrepreneurship is profit.
Hope this helps!

vampirchik [111]

Answer: continuous schedule of reinforcements and partial schedule of reinforcement

Explanation: A continuous schedule of reinforcement is engaged during the initial stages of learning to create a strong association between the behavior and response. It is the most effective when trying to teach a new behaviour.

While for a partial schedule of reinforcement, learned behaviors are acquired more slowly but the response is more resistant to extinction. Here, the response is enforced only partially.

The parasympathetic sensory system (PNS) controls homeostasis and the body very still and is in charge of the body's "rest and process" work. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls the body's reactions to an apparent risk and is in charge of the "fight or flight" reaction. The PNS and SNS are a piece of the ANS, or autonomic nervous system which is in charge of the automatic elements of the human body.
