After school, several students skateboard at the nearby park. your best friend, erwin, is a good skateboarder and happens to fall when attempting a fancy trick. after falling, erwin gets back up and starts repeating the trick over and over again. how would a cognitive psychologist interpret erwin getting back up and repeating the trick many times? erwin has seen other people fall and knows they get back up, so he does the same thing and models their repetitive behavior. erwin is motivated to learn the trick to perfection and knows that practice makes perfect. erwin has repressed desires and, through introspection, he knows that he will only get better if he keeps trying until he skateboards perfectly

The correct answer for How would a cognitive psychologist interpret Erwin getting back up and repeating the trick many times? Is: Erwin is motivated to learn the trick to perfection and knows that practice makes perfect.

Explanation:

The explanation for this answer is associated with Erwin's behavior so let's look at the options.

1.- Erwin has seen other people fall and knows they get back up, so he does the same thing and models their repetitive behavior. This is incorrect because there is no evidence in the problem described to consider he does it because other people do it. Also, he doesn't say anything related to it. He only keeps trying. So, it is incorrect.

2.- Erwin is motivated to learn the trick to perfection and knows that practice makes perfect. This is correct because he keeps trying and trying immediately after he fails. If he would have felt frustrated and wanted to give up he would have taken a rest and then keep trying. He does it automatically so, he is motivated and has no frustration control difficulties.

3.- Erwin has repressed desires and, through introspection, he knows that he will only get better if he keeps trying until he skateboards perfectly. First of all, this is incorrect because at any moment the paragraph described a single sign of repressed desires. Also because we don't have a sign of introspection in the description of the situation. So it's wrong.
