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:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Answer A and D talked about the size of the cities and according to the passage, it didn't mention about the size comparison between the Aztec cities and European cities. Answer B is not correct because it didn't mention about the people having diseases nor it didn't describe the cities as being dirty. Here's a clue to the question. "They then gave such an account of the magnificence and splendour of his court", "great strength of his metropolis", "several causeways, they added, led to this city, which were intersected in various places, over which wooden bridges were built, under which canoes could pass; but, if they were removed, the space between every two sections became an island, and all entrance to the town was completely cut off", "balconies were attached to each house, which were provided with a kind of breastwork, so that the inhabitants were able to defend themselves from the tops of the houses. Yet the whole town was well supplied with sweet water from the spring of Chapultepec, which lay about two miles from the town, whence the water was partly conveyed to the houses by means of pipes, partly in boats through the canals, and then retailed to the inhabitants.” Based on the quotations, you can see that it said about how organized the Aztecs were in terms of civil infrastructure making C the correct answer. Remember the infrastructure involves design, analysis, and management of infrastructure supporting human activities, including, for example, electric power, oil and gas, water and wastewater, communications, transportation, and the collections of buildings that make up urban and rural communities.
Answer:
The correct answer is d) Conditional Knowledge.
Explanation:
Metacognition is the use of different strategies that allow the person to be aware of the resources they have to perform information processing. Cognitive awareness enables the person to control and order their learning through different techniques, identifying the appropriate strategy to obtain a better performance in their learning.
Cognitive awareness makes use of conditional knowledge to help the person identify in each situation the metacognitive strategy to use. Conditional knowledge is responsible for recognizing at what point declarative and procedural knowledge should be used to help the person in their learning.
<em>
For example, in the case of Aleks, using </em><em>conditional knowledge</em><em>, he understands that in this exam, it is better to use another strategy to study and thus obtain better results.</em> Therefore, he decides to change his usual method of learning using procedural memory (teaching cards), by a technique that uses declarative memory (examples of concepts).

Photoreceptors are responsible for visual phototransduction. They convert light into biological signals. In humans, rods, cone, and retinal ganglion cells are the 3 main photoreceptors.
Rods are narrow and are present throughout the retina. They are very sensitive, They can be triggered by a single photon also. They are responsible for the visuals we get in the low-light conditions.
Cons need a high number of photons, in order to produce signals. They are responsible for visualization of colors.
Rhodopsin is the pigment molecule of the rod cells. It is very sensitive to the light, and enables visualization in dim lights.
