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:
i m pretty sure its a, or 48
Explanation:
first=2
second=3
third= 2 x 3, so 6
second= 6-2, so 4
first= 2 +4 +6, so 12
third = 4 x 12, so 48
so a
Natural changes to the ecosystem refer to environmental phenomenon that occur naturally. Natural changes include floods, volcanic activity, hurricanes, droughts, and earthquakes. They can be destructive, but they also have advantages.
The benefit of the flood is for example providing nutrients to the soil that were lacking. Also t<span>here may be relocation of fishes and organisms living in water bodies, which improves the ecosystem.
Volcano threatens t</span>he people and animals in the area are threatened, but is has also some advantages, for example:<span>the soil becomes rich due to the nutrients from the volcano.
</span>Hurricanes result in the destruction to infrastructure and loss of lives, vegetation, and livestock. The advantage is that it lowers the temperature and t<span>he wind will cause the topsoil to be distributed to areas in which it was lacking.</span>
Answer:
reflect the conditions and changes of an environment where they live.
Explanation:
Effective indicator species need distinct environmental factors to sustain and survive in the environment. They reflect the conditions and changes of an environment where they live.
Fishes, specifically steelhead trouts, are an effective indicator species because steelhead trouts require distinct environmental conditions to survive such as temperature of the water, availability of food, specific waterbed, etc. If there is an absence of steelhead trouts in a particular body of water, scientists can easily determine that the water has environmental problems.
