Final answer:
The Law of Effect states that behaviors followed by positive consequences tend to be repeated, and those with negative consequences tend not to be. Without specific information on button consequences, we cannot determine which behavior will be 'stamped in'. However, if a button press leads to food (a reward), that behavior will likely increase in frequency according to the Law of Effect.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the law of effect, which is a psychological principle stating that behaviors followed by positive consequences are more likely to be repeated, and those followed by negative consequences are less likely to be repeated. In the context provided, the behavior of the mouse pressing a button and receiving food (a positive consequence) will be 'stamped in', meaning the mouse will learn to press that button more frequently. Conversely, behaviors that lead to no reward or an unpleasant consequence will be 'stamped out' or occur less frequently. Without specific details on the consequences associated with each button, a general conclusion based on the law of effect cannot be drawn for each scenario. However, following the law, if pressing the green button results in a reward whereas pressing the red or blue buttons does not, over time, the behavior of pressing the green button would be 'stamped in', and the behavior of pressing the others would be 'stamped out'.
From the descriptions given in the other figures and solutions provided, we can assume that certain behaviors, such as pressing the button associated with finding food, would be reinforced according to the law of effect. If pressing the green button led to food and pressing the red did not, over several trials the mouse would learn to press the green button more often. This learning process aligns with the law, which underpins much of the behavioral conditioning research, influencing areas such as behavioral psychology, education, and even marketing strategies.
