The correct answer would be option A, Confirmation Bias.

At the same time, Fantasia ignores any evidence that people without blue eyes might display exceptionally creativity. This is called a Confirmation Bias.

Explanation:

When a person gives more importance to new evidence that supports his already existing belief, it is called as the Confirmation Bias.

In psychology, it is a tendency of a person to search and support for evidences in order to confirm his preconceptions.

When a person has a direct influence of his own desires on beliefs and concepts, confirmation bias is most likely to occur. It means that when people desire to have a certain idea or concept to be true, they end up believing it to be true.

Just given in the question, Fantasia believes that people with blue eyes are more creative than other people having any other eye color, and when she meets a person with blue eyes who is really creative, her belief gets stronger and she puts more importance to her evidence supporting her already existing belief. At the same time, she ignores any evidence that people without blue eyes might display exceptional creativity. This is the Confirmation Bias.

A(n) _____ reinforcer refers to the removal of an unpleasant stimulus, for instance, putting on a sweater when a person feels it
Dvinal [7]

Answer: Negative Reinforcement

Explanation: Negative reinforcement is an efficient method that can be used to help teach desired  behaviors by removing something uncomfortable  in response to a stimulus which overtime,   that target desired  behavior increases with the knowledge  that the unpleasant thing will be taken away.

for example when a mother switches off the TV when a son hasn't done his homework, and is watching cartoon, this will increase  the chances that the  son over time will do his homework before watching TV as he understands his mother would put off the TV if he doesn't .

Also, putting on a sweater when a person feels it is cold would make him or she feel warmer which will lead to an increase in the probability that response will be repeated in the future.
