Answer to Question 1:
The behaviour of the students who hastily write what they consider a "C" level essay after being repeatedly told they can't make an "A" or "B" is a consequence of Reinforcement.
The answer, therefore, is D.
Explanation:
Reinforcement in behavioural psychology refers to the process of encouraging or entrenching a belief system or pattern of behaviour. It can also be defined as any stimuli which stimulate a thought pattern and engrains the probability of a specific response to a particular stimulus. Reinforcements are usually more effective when it comes from a person of perceived to be in a position of authority.
The high school students were verbally programmed by the instructor, who has the authority to mark their scripts, into thinking they will never be able to make an "A" or a "B". The result is that the students didn't even try to put in efforts that would have led to an A or a B because even if they did, the instructor has the power to ensure that no one score an "A" or a "B".
The challenge here is not that the students couldn't write "A" grade essays. In their mind, there was no point trying given that the ability lay with the instructor to ensure that what he said will happen. In any case, the instructors intended behavioural response was achieved.
2. The correct answer to the question of Acquisition and Extinction as indicated on the graph is B.
The strength of the response increases then decreases over time.
Acquisition happens when a neutral stimulus turns into a conditioned stimulus.
When a behavior begins to diminish or even disappear completely as a result of the gradual removal of a conditioned response, extinction is said to have occurred.

Answer:
Fresh pineapple prevents gelatin from setting up because it contains a protease called bromelain that digests the links formed between collagen molecules that make the liquid turn into a gel. Canned pineapple doesn't have the same effect because heat from canning inactivates bromelain.
Explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>We have to determine the pattern of numbers followed in the sequence 2, 7, 8, 3, 12, 9.</em>
<em>Do a grouping of the sequence into two groups. Let the first group be 2, 7, 8 and the second group be 3, 12, 9
</em>
<em>
There is a difference of 1 in the pair 2 and 3, a difference of 5 in the pair 7 and 12 and a difference of 1 in the pair 8 and 9
</em>
<em>
This means there would be a difference of 5 in the next pair.
</em>
<em>
So, adding 5 to the first number to the third pair.
</em>
<h2><em>
Hence, the next number will be 13.</em></h2>
