Answer:

- Positive reinforcement.

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a segment of 'Operant Conditioning' that strengthens desired behaviors through rewarding stimuli. In behavioral psychology, this principle enhances the likelihood of a child repeating specific actions via rewards (positive reinforcement) or punishments (negative reinforcement). Skinner introduced this 'positive reinforcement' theory to increase the chances of recurrent desirable behavior in the future.

Thus, this scenario illustrates 'positive reinforcement' since Barney seeks Ms. Skinner's attention by misbehaving, which results in achieving (the desired behavior) that prompts him to repeat it (the pleasant stimulus). Consequently, 'positive reinforcement' serves as the final answer.

hammer [7621]

Answer:

B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"

D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"

Explanation:

This information most convincingly suggests that white sugar was not only less common but also more valuable than brown sugar. If producing dark or brown sugar is simpler, it logically follows that its value would be lower. The description of white sugar as pure and sweet elevates its worth above that of brown sugar.
