Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marci is describing her idea of a perfect life partner, which fits the definition of a prototype - a mental image or schema of the "ideal" or typical example of a category or concept (in this case, a life partner). A reinforcer is something that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated, an anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase, and a heuristic is a mental shortcut or problem-solving strategy.
