Tolman proposed ten causes of behavior in addition to environmental stimuli.?

When a child exhibits the A not B error, he or she:

a. fails to habituate to a new stimulus after viewing an old stimulus b. fails to combine two individual schemes in order to reach a goal (e.g. to push one object out of the way to reach another) c. notices a correlation between two things and incorrectly infers that one factor caused the other factor d. looks for an object where it has been previously found rather than where it has just been seen

Jodee, age 5, insists on having all of the different foods on her plate separated. If the vegetables touch the meat, for example, she insists on a clean plate. Jodee's parents are concerned about this behavior. What advice would you offer them?

Take Jodee to a child psychiatrist as soon as possible. Allow Jodee to grow out of this "just-right" obsession. Use positive reinforcement to teach Jodee that it's okay if her foods touch each other. Punish Jodee by taking her food away from her if she refuses to eat.
