question 115

Essay

At the end of the nineteenth century, G. Stanley Hall conducted a study of anger in which people reported episodes of anger that they had witnessed. One observation involved a three-year-old girl who paused right in the middle of a tantrum, during a period of what seemed to be uncontrollable sobs. She was upset because she had been kept home from a ride and wanted to know if her father was home. When told that he wasn't yet home, the girl resumed her tantrum. Why is this observation perfectly understandable based on the laws of learning?
