Answer to Question 1

By dawdling, Jason is able to spend more time with a teacher on whom he has a crush. Dawdling behavior is being reinforced by the extra attention that he gets from his teacher. When Ms. Brown moves his desk to be near hers, she is inadvertently reinforcing him in a second way as well.

Answer to Question 2

This strategy has at least two possible benefits:
 Mr. Marculescu can more thoroughly assess Laura's current knowledge, beliefs, and misconceptions of the subject matter.
 Piaget suggested that youngsters are especially motivated to learn when they experience disequilibriumthat is, when they encounter information and events they cannot easily explain using their existing schemes. Ultimately, by challenging Laura's reasoning, Mr. Marculescu may motivate Laura to address the shortcomings in her position, which in the view of contemporary cognitive psychologists may promote conceptual change.
