Expressed in terms of operant conditioning a child who whines and whines until his parent buys him a candy bar has successfully the parent?

I'm not one hundred percent sure what your question is. However, I will tell you this; children, just like adults, do what works. If whining for hours gets them what they want, then there's absolutely no reason NOT to do it! It works. It does not mean that the child is a bad child, or a particularly manipulative child. It means that they are a thinking, learning individual who has learned what works. This being said, this a horrible ideal to teach your child, that whining and nagging lead to reward. How does this help the child become the best they can be in the long run? Ever hear of a successful marriage when one partner nags all the time? Not so much.
Also, because you are not allowing your child to learn the rewards of delayed gratification, self control, and to respect what an adult says, this sets the child up for failure when at school, or a friend's home, because they are likely to literally meltdown in the middle of the classroom when their tried and true technique does not work on others. I've unfortunately seen it, not pleasant.
I would also like to direct you to the blog, www.thedifficultchild.blogspot.com, this is a blog full of tools and strategies on how to parent children, especially children who might seem more difficult in some areas, maybe they explode easier than their peers, for example. The author accepts questions as well, so I highly recommend you check it out.

negatively reinforced
What are examples of conditioned reinforcers?
An example of operant conditioning would be getting in trouble by your teacher for not doing your homework. This is an example of negative reinforcement because the child would be scared of the consequences. Positive reinforcement would be giving the child a gold star on their work.
A parent who uses repeated praise for a child's good behavior is using a form of conditioning to control that behavior?
false
Can both parent have blood type O positive have a children with typeb B?
Not if both parents are O. There are three alleles (flavors of gene) for blood type: A, B, and O. Everyone gets two alleles, one from each parent. Depending on which allele is dominant, that determines what blood type someone is. If you get an A from your mother and an A from your father, you are AA and thus have blood type A, i.e. the expressed blood type is A. Similarly: A + A = AA (expressed blood type: A) A + B = AB (expressed blood type: AB because A and B are both dominant) A + O = AO (expressed blood type: A because A is dominant) B + A = AB (expressed blood type: AB) B + B = BB (expressed blood type: B) B + O = BO (expressed blood type: B) O + A = AO (expressed: A) O + B = BO (expressed: B) O + O = OO (expressed: O) As you can see, someone whose expressed blood type is O (which is rare) has two O alleles, OO. These two people can only have children with the expressed blood type of O, as a result. However, if one parent is BO (expressed: B) and the other parent is BO, AO, or OO, then it is possible for the children to be: AB (AB), AO (A), BO (B), or OO (O).
Who can successfully sue a tobacco company for wrongful death of a parent?
Depends on the circumstances, if said tobacco company actually caused the death of a parent then yes. But if said parent was a smoker then no because tobacco is known to be harmful and they are agreeing to those terms by smoking. goodluck
How do you identify the genotype?
normal sexual cross pollination - each parent plant contributes traits from its genotype (which are expressed as the phenotype)
How is observational conditioning different from classical conditioning?
There are two types of conditioning covered in Psychology 101. Are you *sure* that you don't mean *Operant*Conditioning? Operant and Classical conditioning were and continue to be fundamental principles in the field of psychology. There is such a thing as Observational Learning, but the act of learning is different from being *conditioned*. I hope these definitions help you:Operant Conditioning: Operant Conditioning can be boiled down to two fundamental principles: positive and negative reinforcement. B.F. Skinnerdetermined that an organism will complete a task/challenge/feat in order to gain a reward (positive) from the parent/teacher/etc. and avoid punishment or an undesirable outcome/behavior (negative).There are examples of operant conditioning at work all around us. Think about the case of children completing homework to earn a reward from a parent or teacher, or working hard at your job to finish projects so that your boss will give you praise or a promotion.In the examples above, the promise of a reward increases the desired behavior, but operant conditioning can also be used to decrease or prevent a behavior. An undesirable outcome or punishment can be used to motivate a being to *stop* displaying a certain behavior. For example, if a child is told that s/he will be grounded for the weekend if their chores are not completed, the potential for punishment or an undesirable outcome will prompt the child to follow through with their chores.(If this answer is not satisfactory, find more at: http://psychology.about.com/od/behavioralpsychology/a/introopcond.htm)Classical Conditioning: Classical Conditioning can also be boiled down to a very few specific key points; in this case, four (notice they come in pairs!): Unconditioned Stimulus(UCS), Unconditioned Response (UCR), Conditioned Stimulus (CS), Conditioned Response(CR).-UCS is any event that happens to us that naturally triggers a response (ex: the smell of your favorite food).-UCR is any response that we have naturally to an UCS (getting hungry (response) when we smell our favorite food (stimulus))-CS: Any formally neutral or non-response causing event that, through association, causes us to have a response (example below).-CR: Any response that we have learned through interaction with a previously neutral stimulus (example below)Ivan Pavlov believed that we learn through interaction with our environment and those things that are naturallyoccurring (sounds, smells, tastes, touches, ect). The fact that human beings and other creatures have responses to their environment or when good/bad things happen is common sense -- but Pavlov wanted to take it farther than that. He wanted to train an organism to have a specific response to an event/stimulus. Ivan Pavlov used his dogs to help him develop his theory. I will explain the way he came to his conclusions and also apply the above four key terms in the example.Pavlov noticed that when his the dogs saw their food bowls coming towards them (UCS) they would begin to drool/salivate (UCR). He decided to train them to salivate when a different stimulus/event happened, but he would first have to pair them together (or associate them). Pavlov started to ring a bell every time he would bring the dogs their food. In the beginning the dogs would still salivate only when the bowls were brought to them. But over time, the dogs began to associate the sound of the bell ringing with the food being brought to them. After much training, Pavlov was able to simply ring the bell (CS) and the dogs would begin drooling without food even being brought to them (CR). Pavlov had successfully trained his dogs to have a conditioned response (salivating) to a conditioned stimulus (bell ringing) simply by association of food and sound.Observational Learning: Observational Learning "is a type of learning in which a person learns new information and behaviors by observing the behaviors of others" (http://www.psychologyandsociety.com/observationlearning.html). Albert Bandura established Social Learning Theory, of which Observational Learning is a component.

Can a child be a pedophile if a parent of theirs was?
Pedophilia is individualized from person to person, as causes vary, but are primarily inherent desires like any other sexuality. It is not proven genetic, but could be nurtured as "appropriate" or "healthy" by a parent. This again falls at the child, the conditioning, their psyche, et cetera.
What is a plluripotent?
Know how people will claim to see evidence of both parents in a baby? ("He's got his father's chin" or "She has her mother's eyes") If the offspring resembles only one parent, the genes of that parent are said to be pluripotent. That is, only their dominant characteristics are expressed.
