Young tyler learned that his mother always hides the cookies on the top shelf of the hall closet. after tyler's mother noticed cookies missing, she decided to hide the cookie jar in a new place. after several unrewarding trips to the top shelf of the hall closet, tyler stops looking there. skinner would say that the disappearance of this response is due to:

The answer is: Extinction.

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, when a conditioned  behavior decreases or disappears, it is called extinction. Extinction can be produced by many factors, in Tyler's case, the behavior of going to the cookie jar disappeared because he stopped finding cookies there. According to Skinner, the behavior disappeared because there was no longer a reinforcer of that behavior. In this case, the cookies were the reinforcer that used to follow the discriminative stimulus (the cookie jar), when there were no more cookies Tyler stopped going to the cookie jar, the behavior disappeared.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.  

i am confused, what is the question? i can you out if you put it into more depth.
