Answer:
The operant conditioning process which such technique utilizes is known as Extinction.
Explanation:
Extinction is said to have occurred when a previously learned behavior disappears simply because it is not being reinforced or entertained by someone or something else.
Taking an example from the question, the children in the classroom get the attention of their teacher by being hyperactive. However, when the teacher chose to ignore such attention-getting behavior from the students, they gradually become less hyperactive and in extension, less misbehaving.
It would eventually get to the point which they no longer crave for attention by misbehaving. When that happens, extinction is said to have occurred.

True is correct and not false
Answer:
Cynical
Explanation:
One of the leading cynical philosophers of modern times is Nicolas Machiavelli. In the Prince's chapters examining the virtues that are proper to a prince, Machiavelli reminds us that many, i.e. Plato, Aristotle and their followers, have imagined states and kingdoms that never existed, prescribing to the rulers that they maintain behaviors that would be more appropriate to those living in heaven than to those living on earth. For Machiavelli, most moral standards are not full of hypocrisy and the Prince is not advised to follow them if he wants to retain power. Machiavelli's morality is definitely full of disillusionment with regard to human affairs; he had witnessed first-hand how rulers had been killed or overthrown for lack of a realistic approach to their efforts.
Machiavelli's example can help us, to a great extent, to resolve the controversial aspects of cynicism. Declaring oneself a cynic is often considered a bold statement, almost a challenge to the most basic principles that hold societies together.
However, a cynical attitude can also be non-subversive in its purposes. For example, a person may adopt a cynical attitude as a self-defence mechanism, that is, as a means of dealing with everyday issues without being hurt or adversely affected (from an economic or socio-political point of view, for example). Under this version of the attitude, a cynical person does not need to have a big picture of how a government, or any government, works; nor does he need to have a big picture of how people operate; it seems simply wiser to assume that people act out of self-interest, often overestimating their conditions or ending up being affected by bad luck. It is in this sense that being cynical can be justified, or even sometimes recommended.
