Scenario:Ms. Lopez is a preschool teacher. She introduces a new rule to her class:”Before you leave the classroom, you must wash your hands.”She models the behavior by going to the sink, turning on the faucet, and washing her hands while narrating each step.Over the next few days, most children consistently wash their hands before leaving, even without direct reinforcement. However, a few children only wash if reminded or praised directly by Ms. Lopez. Question:Based on the concepts of rule-governed behavior, modeling, and generalized imitation, explain why some children immediately follow the rule independently while others require additional prompting.

Which situation best illustrates automatic reinforcement maintaining rule-followed behavior?

Delayed imitation in infants shows that:

Match the schedule to its description:

Explain why proprioceptive feedback is essential for infants’ imitation of unseen body parts (like the tongue).

An autoclitic modifies:

Contingency-shaped behavior is primarily influenced by [answer] experiences rather than verbal descriptions.

In observational learning, the learner:

Self-recognition in infants has been linked to:

In concurrent-chain schedules, the onset of [answer] stimuli acts as a conditioned reinforcer.
