Lori always yells at her 5-year-old son Jake when he won't get dressed for school. Although she has been yelling at him to get dressed nearly every day for months,

  does not comply when she asks him to get dressed. Operant conditioning would explain
  this by pointing out that
 
  5-year-olds are trying to exert their independence.
  Jake has come to associate mornings with yelling.
  Lori's yelling is not working as a punishment.
  Jake is fearful that he will appear incompetent at school.

Question 2

In operational conditioning, reinforcements have what effect on an individual's behavior?
 
  make the behavior more likely to reoccur
  make the behavior less likely to reoccur
  ensure that the behavior will remain constant
  cause an individual to think harder about his or her behavior

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
