Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
As a hungry dog runs ever closer toward a bowl of food, the less likely it is to stop running until it reaches the food. This best illustrates that the dog's running behavior is most strongly affected by ________ reinforcers.
a) secondary
b) immediate
c) partial
d) negative
Answer:
This best illustrates that the dog's running behavior is most strongly affected by <u>b) immediate</u> reinforcers.
Explanation:
We can reach the conclusion above by elimination. A secondary reinforcement is one associated with a primary one. Suppose you're teaching the dog to sit. When the dog sits, you give it a treat (primary reinforcer) and then say, "Good job!" (secondary reinforcer). That is not the case here.
A partial reinforcer is one given every now and then, that is, not every time the desired behavior happens. That is also not the case.
A negative reinforcer is the removal of something that was already present. Imagine you have made your son do the dishes after he misbehaved. When he behaves properly, you tell him he doesn't have to do the dishes anymore. You didn't give him a reward; you simply removed the punishment. That is negative reinforcement.
<u>Therefore, we are left with immediate reinforcers. The dog has already learned that the bowl contains food, that food will be given to him immediately if he reaches the bowl. That is why he doesn't stop nor doesn't get distracted. He is hungry and wants to end his hunger immediately.</u>
Trade barriers being abolished would increase trade to a great extent the positive aspects would be that consumer would have a variety of choice to chose from and the trade barriers being abolished means no duties and taxes so the cost of the imported good would be the same in exporting and importing country hence a benefit to the consumer moreover it has negative aspects as well that no duties for the importing country and hence the local producers would be negatively affected as their sales would go down as people would be consuming more of imported good than domestic goods.
