Question

question 18
the tendency to engage in behaviors that we observe others being rewarded for performing best illustrates the influence of
a prosocial behavior.
b operant conditioning.
c latent learning.
d vicarious reinforcement.

Explanation:

• Prosocial behavior refers to actions intended to help others, which is not about imitating rewarded behaviors.
• Operant conditioning involves learning through direct consequences of one's own actions, not observing others.
• Latent learning is learning that occurs without immediate reinforcement and is not demonstrated until later, not related to imitating rewarded behaviors.
• Vicarious reinforcement is when an individual's behavior is influenced by observing others being rewarded for a particular behavior, which matches the description in the question.

Answer:

D. vicarious reinforcement
