Acquisition

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, acquisition refers to the stage of learning when a new behavior is established. In other words, when the neutral stimulus becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus to produce a response.

In this example the neutral stimulus is the parrot's entry, the unconditioned stimulus is the treat for the parrot who later becomes associated with the parrot's entry producing the conditioned response of greeting.

Therefore, once the parrot greets Kieran in response to his entry we can say that acquisition has taken place.

A. acquisition

Explanation:

Acquisition is term that explains initial learning stage in which someone grasp something for the first time. When a subject has grasped this learned behavior they will show it when something that activate it is presented; this is an indication that they have acquired this behaviour.

A few things that might influence the acquisition process include:

- it will depend on the behaviour that is being taught if it is naturally associated with that subject it will be easy to acquire the behavior. It is easy to teach a human baby to talk than to teach an animal to talk.

- how often the behavior is taught , the more the behaviour is taught the higher the strength of the response would be .

-The stimulus must be familiar to easy remember the behavior when neutral stimulus is presented , the stimulus must also relate to the behavior being taught otherwise acquisition will take longer .

answer; /// i believe the correct answer is (b) disposition

yes, since there is a positive and a negetive if the positive and negitive wasn't there wouldn't a flow electricity in it.
