(Psychology) What did Rescorla discover with his experiments in cognitive learning?
A. The ability of a stimulus to predict a consequence affects its ability to shape behavior.
B. Responses to stimuli only occur if more than one stimulus predicts a consequence.
C. Stimuli will have similar effects on behavior no matter how far apart they occur from signals.
D. Punishments, such as low-voltage shocks, cannot be paired with positive reinforcements.

Answer: The correct answer is A. The ability of a stimulus to predict a consequence affects its ability to shape behavior.

Explanation:

The ability of a stimulus to predict a consequence affects its ability to shape behavior. The correct option is option (A).

Rescorla's experiments in cognitive learning, particularly his work on classical conditioning, led him to discover that the ability of a stimulus to predict a consequence significantly influences its effectiveness in shaping behavior.

This finding is known as the contingency theory or the Rescorla-Wagner model. According to this theory, if a stimulus consistently predicts the occurrence of a certain consequence, it becomes a reliable predictor and has a stronger influence on behavior modification.

In other words, the predictability of a stimulus plays a crucial role in its ability to shape behavior.

Therefore, The ability of a stimulus to predict a consequence affects its ability to shape behavior. The correct option is option (A).

"The huge Indian Ocean constitutes a maritime space less cohesive than the Mediterranean; yet, the monsoons provide a degree of geographic unity. In winter months, approximately November through March, high pressure zones over the Asian landmass and low pressures over the ocean produce prevailing winds blowing in a southwesterly direction from India and from China. In the summer months, approximately April to September, the pressure zones and wind directions reverse. The optimal sailing periods during the monsoons were relatively short and storms were often a problem, so mariners learned to catch the winds at certain times, depending on their points of embarkation and destination. Some historians argue that the monsoons determined certain historical patterns, and there is a general consensus that the monsoons made cross-cultural experiences highly likely, such as those between Arabia and East Africa and between China and island Southeast Asia. The monsoons also heightened opportunities for sailing long distances more quickly than would otherwise have been possible and thereby made the huge region seem a bit smaller.”

"The next day (25th May) (the Chan) sent his secretaries to me, who said: ‘Our lord sends us to you to say that you are here Christians, Saracens [Muslims] and Tuins. And each of you says that his doctrine is the best, and his writings—that is, books—the truest. So he wishes that you shall all meet together, and make a comparison, each one writing down his precepts, so that he himself may be able to know the truth.’ Then I said: ‘Blessed be God, who put this in the Chan’s heart. But our Scriptures tell us, the servant of God should not dispute, but should show mildness to all; so I am ready, without disputation or contention, to give reason for the faith and hope of the Christians, to the best of my ability.’ They wrote down my words, and carried them back to him. Then it was told the Nestorians that they should look to themselves, and write down what they wished to say, and likewise to the Saracens [Muslims], and in the same way to the Tuins.”

This year there was a proposal to increase government funding for public schools to help implement a new curriculum for Primary and Secondary education students (k-12) that emphasizes Patriotism, National Pride, Civic Duty, and the Glory of American History while downplaying the impacts made by other nations/countries and the less-than-glorious moments in American history. Things such as resistance to American government action and the impacts of unfair laws will be taught but will not receive as much attention as their counterparts. The proposed policy calls for an additional $20 billion to be directed toward public education to provide training for school staff and provide the necessary materials for this new curriculum.
