Scenario:Ms. Lopez is a preschool teacher. She introduces a new rule to her class:”Before you leave the classroom, you must wash your hands.”She models the behavior by going to the sink, turning on the faucet, and washing her hands while narrating each step.Over the next few days, most children consistently wash their hands before leaving, even without direct reinforcement. However, a few children only wash if reminded or praised directly by Ms. Lopez. Question:Based on the concepts of rule-governed behavior, modeling, and generalized imitation, explain why some children immediately follow the rule independently while others require additional prompting.
