interest in a particular picture is evidence of
select one
o a. habituation
o b. operant conditioning.
o c. joint recognition.

Explanation:

• First question: Object permanence is the understanding that objects and people exist even when out of sight. Object fixation is not a standard term in this context. Habituation is a decrease in response due to repeated exposure. Joint symbolism is not relevant here.
• Second question: Leo's belief that his mother is never coming back shows a lack of object permanence. Anticipatory insight and transitivity are not related. Emotional attachment is about the bond, not the understanding of existence.
• Third question: Habituation is the gradual loss of interest due to repeated exposure. Operant conditioning involves learning through consequences. Joint recognition is not the term for this phenomenon.
