Answer:
Abi, who can think abstractly about things she cannot perceive concretely
Explanation:
One of the most influential and famous psychologists named Jean Piaget has given his theory on cognitive development in which he has mentioned four distinct stages including sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal-operational.
Formal-operational stage: According to Piaget's theory, the formal-operational stage is last i.e the fourth stage. This stage generally starts at the age of twelve years of a child and lasts through adulthood.
In this stage, the adolescents gain the capability of thinking abstractly by manipulating various ideas in their mind in the absence of any dependence on concrete manipulation. In short, the adolescents can think rationally without the mere presence of any object.
Joe has anti-social personality disorder. Initially he makes a good first impression on people, and he possesses good social skills. However, he uses these skills in a very manipulative fashion and has gotten in trouble several times and cannot hold a job because of his "con artist" schemes. Though others around him are concerned about how he has manipulated them (especially those he has cheated out of money), Joe is totally unconcerned about his behavior and says his detractors are "sweating the small stuff." Of the criteria for determining whether Joe’s behavior is abnormal, what should be considered?
Answer:
The answer is Subjective Distress
Explanation:
Antisocial personality disorder is a mental condition whereby a person has a long-term destructive pattern of exploiting, manipulating, or violating the rights of anyone without remorse. They cause discomfort or distress to others by being deceitful, impulsive, showing socially unacceptable behavior.
The general diagnostic criteria for a personality disorder according to the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic statistical manual of mental disorders), the pattern leads to clinically significant distress or impairment in social occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The personality traits must be inflexible, maladaptive and cause functional impairment or subjective distress.
Opal is a retired school teacher who spends most of her time as a volunteer. She itemizes deductions and brought in a list of her charitable contributions. Which of her contributions is NOT deductible?
The following contributions made by Opal is not deductible:
Tuition she paid as a scholarship for her hairdresser's child to attend band camp.Cash given to her local Girl Scouts group collected to support the local children's science museum.Explanation:
Their are terms of deductions which allow people to itemize deductions, which are as follows:
In order to claim this itemized deduction one must donate to a qualified charity. If someone give someone else or anything else, it doesn't count for one's magnanimity. If one donate to a qualified organization property other than cash, one can generally deduct the property's fair market value.The charity to which one give must be categorized as 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization or fall within Internal Revenue Code Section 170(c).Tony is a prison inmate who earns tokens each day for a number of desirable target behaviors.The prison guards use money as tokens, and Tony can earn a quarter for each of 10 differentdesirable behaviors each day. At the end of each day, Tony can spend the money he earnedthat day in a prison store. What is wrong with the token economy described in this example?
Answer: The token should be an item that cannot be used outside the token economy.
Explanation:
A token economy uses the theory of applied behavior analysis to reinforce desired change by rewarding positive behavior. The rewards or tokens should be valuable to the person who needs a behavioural change but also easy to introduce and remove, as well as limited to the system. It should not count as currency outside the token system. This is to limit the motivation for collecting the tokens to behavioral improvement alone and prevent dependency.
Also it is ideal to have a target behavior that needs changing, instead of 10, as is the case in this question. A single target behavior is easy to monitor.
J.T. is taking a lie detector test as part of an ongoing investigation into a recent bank robbery. The investigators hope that the polygraph will reveal any dishonesty because different patterns of physiological activity are associated with different emotions, such as guilt. The investigators most likely ascribe to ______ theory of emotion.
The investigators most likely ascribe to James's Peripheral theory of emotion.
James's Peripheral theory of emotion also called the James Lange theory of emotion developed by 19th-century scholars, William James and Carl Lange explains that individuals experience emotion as a feeling of physiological changes due to a stimulus such as fear; guilt; etc.
The investigators hope that through the physiological changes occurring during investigation, they can be able to conclude exactly what J T feels(emotions) and draw conclusion as to whether he committed the crime or not.
Final answer:
The James-Lange theory of emotion would suggest polygraphs can differentiate emotions by physiological responses. However, polygraphs' accuracy based on physiological arousal signals associated with lying is highly debated with little supporting evidence.
Explanation:
The theory of emotion that would suggest that polygraphs are quite accurate at differentiating one emotion from another is likely the James-Lange theory of emotion, which proposes that physiological arousal precedes the experience of emotion.
However, the use of a lie detector test based on physiological responses is highly controversial in practice. The theory suggests that different patterns of physiological activity are associated with different emotions, such as guilt. This could inform the investigators' assumptions during a polygraph test. Nevertheless, the James-Lange theory has been questioned, and there is little evidence to support the idea that lying corresponds with a unique physiological response that can be measured reliably.

Claire is the owner and chef at Vanilla and Sugar, a cafe that also offers a range of baked products. Claire employs two people who help her with various tasks at the cafe. At Vanilla and Sugar, tasks tend to be distributed among the two employees in an informal manner rather than each person developing a narrow area of specialization. Vanilla and Sugar is most likely to have a _____ structure
The correct answer is functional
Explanation: Its functional groups include aldehyde, hydroxyl, and ether. It is the primary component of the extract of the vanilla bean.
At your first day of work the manager introduces your coworkers, one at a time. As you meet each person, you repeat all the names, starting at the beginning. By the time you meet the last person, you can better recall the names at the beginning and the last names you heard. What will best explains your experience?
Answer:
Serial-position effect
Explanation:
In psychology, the serial-position effect refers to the tendency of a person to recall the first and last items of a list best and to tend to forget the ones in the middle.
In this example, your manager introduces you to your coworkers by name. By the end you can better recall the names at the beginning and the last names you heard. In other words, you can recall the first and the last and you forgot the names of the members that were introduced to you in the middle. Therefore, the serial-position effect is what best explains this experience.
Some bargles are chongos and some chongos are munhatsens. Are some bargles definitely munhatsens?
a) Yes
b) No
Answer:
No, some bargles are not definitely munhatsens.
Explanation:
The relation that is stated in the narration can be said to be an indefinite relation. It is stated that some bargles are chongos but there is no detailing about exactly which bargles are chongos.Similarly, it is stated that some chongos are munhatsens, but no information has been given about exactly which chongos are munhatsens.Hence, a definite claim of some bargles being munhatsens cannot be made because it is not clear whether the chongos that are bargles are itself munhatsens.Final answer:
While there is an overlap between bargles and chongos, and between chongos and munhatsens, we cannot definitively say there is an overlap between bargles and munhatsens. Hence, some bargles are not definitely munhatsens.
Explanation:
The question presents a logical reasoning scenario involving set relationships among bargles, chongos, and munhatsens. Since some bargles are chongos and some chongos are munhatsens, there is an overlap between bargles and chongos, and between chongos and munhatsens. However, this information does not guarantee that there is an overlap between bargles and munhatsens. Without explicit evidence of direct overlap between bargles and munhatsens, we cannot conclusively state that some bargles are definitely munhatsens. Therefore, the answer must be "b) No."

Wei-Chin designed a self-report inventory to measure how intimate partners express affection and hostility toward each other. The inventory is a list of positive behaviors (e.g., back rubs, holding hands) and negative behaviors (e.g., slamming doors, raising voices). After having a wide range of couples complete the inventory, Wei-Chin finds that happy couples endorse all the affection items and unhappy couples endorse all the hostile items. Which of the following problems prevents him from concluding that happy couples exchange more affectionate behaviors than unhappy couples?
1. sentiment override
2. item-overlap problem
3. correlation does not imply causation
4. social desirability effect
Answer: 3. Correlation does not imply causation.
Explanation:
Correlation is a statistical technique that evaluates how much two variables are linearly related, meaning they change together. However, two variables being correlated does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. Causation states that any change in a variable will cause a change in another variable.
The fact that happy couples endorsed all the positive behaviors, and unhappy couples the negative ones, shows that there´s a correlation, but it doesn't necessarily mean that unhappiness causes couples to exchange more negative behaviors, or vice-versa.
Which of the following is usually associated with creativity?answer choicessyntaxconvergent thinkingmodelingdivergent thinking
Answer:
Divergent thinking
Explanation:
Divergent thinking is related to explore different ideas in a different direction. Divergent thinking is the way through which a person gets different directions to explore their ideas, thinking, and creativity.
Convergent thinking is opposite to divergent thinking. In convergent thinking, it focuses only on a single solution but on the other hand, divergent thinking provides many solutions for one problem. So that divergent thinking explores the creativity in a person. Divergent thinking works on the principle of developing thinking in a different direction.
A young man decides to take an art history class, a topic in which he has been interested ever since his parents began taking him to museums when he was a child. He believes that art appreciation and knowledge are good qualities to have. What is the term Pierre Bourdieu coined to describe this young man’s attitudes about classic art? a. bourgeoisie b. habitus c. social reproduction d. social mobility
Pierre Bourdieu's term to describe the young man's attitudes about classic art is 'b. habitus,' which signifies ingrained cultural habits and knowledge acquired from early socialization.
The term Pierre Bourdieu coined to describe the young man's attitudes about classic art is habitus. This term encompasses the ingrained habits, dispositions, and cultural knowledge that individuals acquire from their environment from an early age, which shapes their tastes, preferences, and practices. In the context of the young man's appreciation for classic art, his knowledge and attitudes are reflective of his socialized experiences, including his visits to museums during childhood, contributing to his specific habitus that values the appreciation of classic art.
Children who are temperamentally ""difficult"" are MOST likely to thrive with _____ parents.
Answer:
with __unusually sensitive__ parents.
Explanation:
Every child has a different personality or temperament, a “difficult” one needs parents that can communicate with them, and also be sensitive enough to decide what parenting style to follow (authoritative, authoritarian or permissive) and even mix some of them to help the child providing both discipline and love.
Final answer:
Temperamentally difficult children are likely to thrive with patient, consistent, and adaptive parents who can meet their unique emotional and behavioral needs.
Explanation:
Children who are temperamentally "difficult" often display negative emotions, struggle with adapting to change, and find it hard to regulate their emotions. These children are more likely to thrive with parents who are patient, consistent, and adaptive to their needs. Research suggests that such children require more sensitive parenting and are more affected by their parents' behaviors than children who are temperamentally easygoing. For these children to thrive, they need an environment that is structured yet flexible, with parents who can provide firm guidance while also responding to their specific emotional and behavioral challenges.
Gender schema theory suggests that once children understand their gender label, they:
Answer: labeling themselves as well as other individuals by gender (i.e.-male or female )
Explanation:
Gender schema theory is the concept that states about individuals or society that tend to categorize the gender in cognitive process.People use their knowledge, role etc to generate sex type characteristic for other individuals.
Children tend to understand the gender roles way earlier than they understand consistency of gender.They also relate with the characteristics based on gender to label other people as male and female.
This congnitive process provides guidance to children to understand scheme of gender and the function of transmitting roles and features accordingly to other people.
Write a two-page response to Citizen Kane. What did you think of Citizen Kane before our lecture and discussion? How did your opinion change after our lecture and discussion?
Answer:
I had big expectations about "Citizen Kane" due to many people's opinion and recommendations and the overall popularity of the story in general and being admired as an all times masterpiece; after experiencing it for the first time the one thing that made an impression was the bold cinematography, the fearless framing and audacious ways how the director uses clever camera shots and asymmetrical composition to set the attention and express the narrative providing a distinctive soul to the story, which in spite of being released about 80 years ago, it feels fresh, contemporary and relevant to the present.
A timeless story, which undoubtedly displays the wonderful talent of Orson Welles who at such a young age directed his very first film with grandiosity to frame, weave and relate the events of various stages of humanity.
After discussing the film with others, my opinion gained not just assertion but got inspired by how the film succeeds in resonating with a diverse deal of audiences up until these days; I learned something that didn't occurred to me before, from other people's perception such as how they noticed the characters been carefully arranged in tridimensional space, pointing out the use of "flashbacks" throughout, which gave it more depth. I got surprised on how aspects of the film I thought were merely personal assumptions of mine were held by others in a strikingly similar way, particularly how impressed they were with the blatant technical innovation employed to propose a story of the complications of power and wealth in society, which turned out to be a historical epic.
2. Provide real-world examples for the following types of intelligences as theorized by Gardner: verbal/linguistic, body-kinesthetic (movement), and logical/mathematical. Explain why each example represents one of the types of intelligence. Present some of the arguments critics have offered against Gardner's research.
Final answer:
Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences identifies verbal/linguistic, body-kinesthetic, and logical/mathematical intelligences. Critics argue that the theory lacks empirical evidence and that general intelligence is a better predictor of cognitive ability.
Explanation:
According to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, there are several types of intelligences. Verbal/linguistic intelligence is the ability to use language effectively. An example of this intelligence is a person who excels in writing or public speaking. Body-kinesthetic intelligence refers to the ability to use one's body skillfully. An example can be a dancer or an athlete. Logical/mathematical intelligence is the ability to reason and solve problems using logic and numbers. A person who is adept at solving complex math problems or enjoys coding can be considered to possess this intelligence.
Critics of Gardner's theory argue that it lacks empirical evidence and there is no scientific consensus on the validity of multiple intelligences. They argue that intelligence cannot be neatly categorized into specific types, and that general intelligence (g factor) is a better predictor of overall cognitive ability. However, supporters of Gardner's theory believe that it offers a more inclusive and diverse perspective on human abilities.

What is the relationship between love, delinquency, and desistance according to age-graded theory?
Answer:
According to the Age-graded theory stability can be brought by romantic relationship leading to a responsible life, thus desistance of delinquency. What the sociologists McCarthy and Casey associate between love and delinquency is that the romantic love can help fill the emotional void that occurs when teens break free of parental bounds.
Age-graded theory suggests that strong social bonds, including those formed through romantic relationships and connectedness to school, reduce the likelihood of delinquency and aid desistance as people age. Love, attachment, and belonging are protective factors against delinquency, but the theory has limitations in explaining adult criminality and serious crimes.
Explanation:Relationship Between Love, Delinquency, and Desistance According to Age-Graded Theory
The age-graded theory of social control suggests a relationship between love, delinquency, and desistance in individuals as they transition through life stages. According to this theory, individuals form social bonds at various stages that can either increase or decrease their likelihood of engaging in delinquent behavior. During adolescence, for example, romantic relationships, family ties, and school bonding are crucial. The end of a romantic relationship or other strain-inducing incidents can lead to negative emotions, which in turn may prompt delinquency or substance abuse. On the other hand, strong bonds to conventional social institutions, such as a loving relationship or a connectedness to school, can foster commitment and lead to desistance from delinquency as individuals age.
Travis Hirschi highlighted the importance of strong social bonds in preventing delinquency, suggesting that attachment to family and school plays a significant role. These institutional bonds can be protective factors against delinquency. When adolescents feel connected and valued within these settings, they are less likely to engage in delinquent behavior. Furthermore, experiences of love and belonging can help individuals move away from delinquency as they age, entering into adulthood with a stronger sense of identity and societal commitment.
However, it is important to critique and understand this theory's limitations. It doesn't adequately explain all forms of criminal behavior, particularly serious crimes or adult criminality. The focus on social bonds may overlook factors such as individual autonomy and impulsiveness. Nevertheless, the theory serves as a valuable framework for understanding how experiences of love and connectedness across the lifespan influence the propensity for delinquency and pathways towards desistance.
Describe the nature of the KKK’s attack on the Catholic Church. Why do you suppose KKK spokespersons chose to emphasize such things in their attempts to attract support for their cause? Why do you suppose that Catholics rather than African Americans or Jews seem to have been a more frequent target for the Klan in Indiana?
Answer:
The Ku Klux Klan or KKK were a fascist group formed in three different periods in history.
Explanation:
The Ku Klux Klan or KKK were a fascist group formed in three different periods in history. The first time the KKK appeared was from 1865 to 1871, the second time it was from 1915 to 1944 and the third time the Klan appeared in 1946 until the present days.
It has been a group that has gained integrants mainly in 1920's due to their idea of keeping the white supremacy in the country. The attack to the catholic church was based in the concept that the catholic church was growing and gaining adepts in the country as mandat of the pope in Rome who wanted to conquer the American land.
Besides, the KKK attributed several abuses from the church to the nuns such as rapes and tortures. These attributions contributed to the Klan gaining adherents, since this caused the image of the Catholic Church to deteriorate considerably. In addition, this made many people sympathize with the cause of the kkk in order to defend women's rights.
In 1924 the Klan became aware of the importance of politics for the movement, so they began to name klansmen in order to have enough political power to grow throughout the whole country. Indiana was one of the target states in which the clan began creating "the invisible empire" getting adepts to their ideology.
The KKK targeted the Catholic Church due to its anti-Catholic beliefs and emphasis on Protestantism. Catholics were a more frequent target for the Klan in Indiana due to the large Catholic population and desire to maintain Protestant dominance.
Explanation:The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) targeted the Catholic Church due to its anti-Catholic beliefs and its promotion of Protestantism. The KKK saw the Catholic Church as a threat to their Protestant values and sought to undermine its influence. They emphasized their attacks on the Catholic Church to attract support from those who shared their anti-Catholic sentiments. Catholics were a more frequent target for the Klan in Indiana because of the large Catholic population in the state and the Klan's desire to maintain Protestant dominance in the region.

Give a school-based example of two of the following: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, or extinction.
a. Positive reinforcement: sees a student walking in the hallway
b. Compliment student by saying wow studentI really like how you are walking quietly through the hallways.
c. Punishment: student constantly distracts other students so the teacher moves his desk to the corner until student shows they can cooperate.
Answer:
Two of the examples are:
Positive reinforcement:
b. Compliment student by saying wow studentI really like how you are walking quietly through the hallways.
c. Punishment: student constantly distracts other students so the teacher moves his desk to the corner until student shows they can cooperate.
Explanation:
Positive reinforcement is presented when a positive stimulus is offered to the individual in order to increase a desired behavior.
Punishment is presented when a positive stimulus is offered to the individual with the purpose of decreasing an undesired behavior.
Negative reinforcement: Sara really loves her swimming class. However, she has been bullying one of her classmates bothering the whole class. Her parents decide to take her for a couple of weeks to therapy in the hours she used to have her classes. If she cooperates and commits to treat in an appropriate way her classmates it will be possible to go back to her normal swimming classes. Negative reinforcement consists of removing something the individual desires in order to find the wanted behavior.
Extinction: John loves to chat in class, when the professor realizes about it, he confiscates his cell phone, that is to say, he removes the stimulus in order to reduce his unwanted behavior.
In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement adds a positive stimulus to increase behavior, while punishment introduces or removes stimuli to decrease behavior.
Explanation:In operant conditioning, the terms positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction have specific meanings that relate to increasing or decreasing a behavior. Positive reinforcement involves adding a desirable stimulus to increase a behavior. For example, a student might be praised for walking quietly in the hallways, thus making it more likely that they will continue to walk quietly.
Negative reinforcement involves removing an undesirable stimulus to increase a behavior. An example would be a horse trainer applying pressure with the reins and then releasing the pressure when the horse turns correctly, increasing the likelihood that the horse will turn correctly in the future.
Punishment aims to decrease a behavior by introducing an unpleasant stimulus (positive punishment) or by removing a pleasant stimulus (negative punishment). For instance, a student may be moved to the corner of the room (positive punishment) to decrease the behavior of disrupting classmates.

What is Classical Hollywood Cinema? How does Singing in the Rain fit the mold of the Classical Hollywood film? How does A Clockwork Orange challenge the Classical Hollywood film? How is A Clockwork Orange critical of the ""viewer"" (you)?
Answer:
Classical Hollywood Cinema is a known North American style of film-making mainly used between 1910s and 1960s.
Explanation:
Classical Hollywood Cinema is a known North American style of film-making mainly used between 1910s and 1960s. It takes into consideration some specific ways of narration and visual styles to show stories to the public such a beautiful dream. It is important to take into account that until 1910s when Classical Hollywood Cinema was presented, the film industry was mainly based in a theatrical style, in which there was no possibility of interrupting the scene. The development of the Golden Age of Hollywood came along with the technological advances in the production of films. Once the audio was introduced to the industry and producers or directors could modify and cut the scenes in the studio, the Classical Hollywood style took its shape. It was a characteristic visual and narrative style that had its roots in great shape due to the film expert David Bordwell who was based in the renaissance style and who injected the touches of a rediscovery of man into a society taking into account the surrounding elements for this process.
Taking into consideration the facts that describe the Classical Hollywood Cinema, it is possible to say that the film Singing in the Rain fits the mold of this style since it narrates in a musical, the love story of Don and Kathy who were successful actors who fall in love in Hollywood. The movie was considered one of the best at that time since it shocked the audience who was not used to see this kind of productions where dancing and singing were the main point to tell the story.
Finally, on the other extreme, the movie A Clockwork Orange challenges the Classical Hollywood film since it shows a completely different story. It does not show any common love story, it focuses on crimes and the social problems that the adolescent Alex, the main character, and his droogs or "friends" have to face. In my opinion, this movie is a magnificent piece of art that after all the misdeeds committed and the bandal acts that occur in chain during the development of history, it is possible to see how this plot has an ending part that reveals how the law of cause and effect has always an impact on our lives.
Classical Hollywood Cinema is a style of filmmaking characterized by narrative storytelling and entertainment. Singing in the Rain fits this mold, while A Clockwork Orange challenges it. A Clockwork Orange is critical of society and the viewer's response to violence.
Explanation:Classical Hollywood Cinema refers to a style of filmmaking that emerged in the early 20th century and dominated the American film industry until the 1960s. It is characterized by narrative storytelling, clear cause-and-effect relationships, continuity editing, and a focus on entertainment and escapism.
Singing in the Rain fits the mold of Classical Hollywood film by incorporating all the key elements of the genre. It tells a coherent and engaging story, utilizes continuity editing techniques, has clear character motivations, and offers light-hearted entertainment.
A Clockwork Orange challenges the Classical Hollywood film in several ways. It deviates from linear narrative structure, employs unconventional and jarring editing techniques, and tackles dark and controversial themes. It is critical of society's obsession with violence and the role of the media in influencing behavior.
A Clockwork Orange is also critical of the viewer by presenting unsettling and morally ambiguous situations, forcing the audience to confront their own reactions and complicity in consuming violent media.
Play in board games like Dungeons and Dragons is constricted within the context of the real world.
a. True
b. False
The statement is false; board games like Dungeons and Dragons are not constrained by real-world contexts, but rather by the imagined fantasy world and game rules.
The statement 'Play in board games like Dungeons and Dragons is constricted within the context of the real world' is false. In games like Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), play is not constrained by real-world physics or laws. Instead, D&D and similar games occur within a fantasy world where players use avatars to interact with the game environment. Players’ actions and the narrative are restricted by the game's rules and the imagination of the participants, rather than real-world possibilities. This means that in these role-playing games, things that are impossible in the real world can happen, such as casting spells or encountering mythical creatures.

A woman has a large garden and decides this year she will not let the pests get beyond control. At the earliest sign of insect pests, she applies an organic insecticide and continues to apply it every month throughout the growing season. The next year the woman decides not to use any insecticides, thinking that she must have eliminated the pests with the prior year's treatments. Unfortunately, the pests reappear in numbers greater than she has ever seen before, and her crops are destroyed. Investigating this phenomenon, she learns that she has just experienced a phenomenon known as:_________
Answer:
resurgence
Explanation:
Resurgence -
It is the process by which there is increase in the population of certain species , after some period of time , is referred to as Resurgence .
Hence, from the question, there is a rapid increase in the number of pests on the crops , after an year of using the insecticides.
Hence, from the given scenario of the question, the correct term is resurgence.
In a hypothetical psychology internship, you have encountered a child with destructive tendencies. She bites herself, her dog, and your bag of supplies. Being afraid for her safety and your own well-being, you institute a plan to change her behavior. Suggest a punishment, with her possible reactions to that punishment. Then, try substituting an alternative behavior by reinforcing an incompatible response. Label the antecedent stimulus for the biting response, Punishment I or II, escape or avoidance, and the reinforcement for the new named response. What do you consider to be the best theory or method for improving this child’s behavior?
Answer:
Explanation:
PUNISHMENT.
I would put pepper on the skin of the dog and ask her 2 come play with the puppy know full well that she would attempt to bite the dog. When she bites it, her mouth would start hurting her. Then she would shriek and cry.
I could also have her bite through an ice cube, shredding a sheet, snapping a rubber band, sucking a lemon peel and pounding a pillow.” these is a digression from the detrimental attacks on her self and others.
The best method of improving the child's behaviors is getting her occupied with some other things as mentioned in the previous paragraph so as to get her distracted.
To address a child's destructive biting, a mild negative punishment like a time-out could be used, but reinforcing an incompatible behavior with a chewable toy (positive reinforcement) is more effective long-term. Reinforcement over punishment helps in internalizing positive behaviors rather than merely avoiding negative consequences.
In addressing the behavior of a child with destructive tendencies, it's important to choose an intervention that balances between reinforcement and punishment effectively. Initially, as a punishment, one may consider a time-out (negative punishment) whenever the child bites, removing them from a situation where they could receive attention (the antecedent stimulus). This could lead to either the child avoiding the behavior to prevent the punishment (avoidance) or ceasing the behavior only during the time-out (escape). It is essential, however, to acknowledge that punishment might not lead to long-term attitudinal change, and could foster fear or aggression.
As an alternative, reinforcing an incompatible behavior is often preferred. If the antecedent stimulus for biting is a need for sensory input or attention, offering a chewable toy (positive reinforcement) whenever the child feels the urge to bite would redirect the behavior toward something more appropriate. This also serves as an escape from the undesired stimulus by providing a proper outlet. Over time, this positive reinforcement will hopefully increase the incompatible behavior and decrease the biting.
Considering mainstream psychological views and the principles of operant conditioning, reinforcement over punishment is often more effective for long-term behavior modification. The best approach might include a mix of mild negative punishment, like a brief time-out, coupled with strong positive reinforcement for alternative behaviors, ensuring the child internalizes preferred actions rather than just avoiding punishment.
