Question

Jennifer's cat loves treats. All Jennifer has to do is shake the treat bag and her cat comes running. Her cat will not come running, however, when Jennifer just calls for her. So Jennifer decides to teach her cat to associate the sound of the treat bag with being called so that she will come when she is called. Jennifer has been calling her cat and shaking the treat bag every day for a week, but her cat still will not come when just being called. Jennifer probably should not give up her training plan because her cat is still in the _____ phase of learning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jennifer probably should not give up her training plan because her cat is still in the acquisition phase of learning.

Explanation:

The acquisition phase represents the beginning of improvement in life. It includes the timelapse from which the learner cannot respond properly without assistance to the phase at which he/she can. This means that, in the acquisition phase, the individual can perform the skill but not in an independent way.
