Unconditioned Stimulus Operant Conditioning
653 wordsWhat I want to do is train my dog to shake with either paw upon request. If I say right I want him to raise his right paw and the same for the left. I would use operant and classical conditioning to reach the goal of teaching this trick to my dog. I must condition the dog to shake by using positive reinforcement. The dog (Max) already puts his paw on me when I grab his head so I will act like I am going to reach for his head and when he puts his paw on me I will say, shake. Every time he puts hi...

1,324 wordsThe purpose of this lab was to find that gravity of Earth is indeed 9. 8 m / s /s (the The theory, according to Galileo, is that two objects have the same acceleration if dropped from the same height will land at the same time at the speed of 9. 8 m / s /s as long as there is no air resistance. To have an understanding Galileo's theory of acceleration, certain terms and equations must be known. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time interval which the change of vel...

Q T Interval Long Q T Syndrome People
435 wordsWhat is the long Q-T syndrome (LQTS)? Long Q-T syndrome is an infrequent, hereditary disorder of the heart's electrical rhythm that can occur in otherwise-healthy people. It usually affects children or young adults. When the heart contracts, it emits an electrical signal. This signal can be recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) and produces a characteristic waveform. The different parts of this waveform are designated by letters -- P, Q, R, S and T. The Q-T interval represents the time f...

Amount Of Time Classical Conditioning
1,236 wordsJohn B. Watson founded behaviorism in 1913. The theory of behaviorism concentrates on the study of overt behaviors that can be observed and measured (Hothersal, 2004). It views the mind as a "black box" in the sense that response to stimulus can be observed quantitatively... Some key players in the development of the behaviorist theory were Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike and Skinner. For most people, the name "Pavlov" rings a bell. He is best known for his work in classical conditioning. Pavlov's mos...

Dry Land Physical Fitness
1,554 wordsThere is not much of a life for swimmers. Imagine practicing seven days a week, two times a day for four hours each time in the pool. This is an ongoing process if one desires to become a nationally ranked swimmer. Because swimmers swim all year, their work-outs build up as their competition approaches making it harder to have time of their own. When they get closer to the big meet, swimmers put in more time at the pool and weight room. Since physical fitness along with preparation becomes essen...

Sir Isaac Newton F X
1,937 wordsCalculus is a powerful field of mathematics. Through the years, Calculus has been used to figure out extremely complicated and time-consuming problems in the fields of Physics and Engineering. The field of Calculus is divided into two major groups. The two groups are Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus. In Differential Calculus, the function is presented and the derivative or rate of change must be computed, while in Integral Calculus the derivative is given and the function must be comp...

Operant Conditioning Red Light
1,928 wordsDiscriminative Training On Two Different Luminance Of Discriminative Training On Two Different Luminance Of Key Lights Not a few experiments on the discriminative training with pigeons were done over past several decades, and many researchers found that various factors relate to the results of discriminative training with pigeons. In a classical study by Heinemann and Rudolph (1963), they suggested that the geometric size of the stimulus influences on the efficiency of the learning by pigeons. T...

Time Of Death Crime Scene
3,316 wordsInvestigative Techniques to Determine Time of Death One of the first steps involved in a homicide investigation is the determination of the time of death. While knowing the time of death is not crucial in each and every homicide case, it can be of significant importance in some. Except for a bullet passing through a victims head and striking a clock in the same room, determining time of death is not an exact science. However, there are a number of different indicators, most of which are evaluate...

Null Hypothesis Sleep Deprivation
1,977 wordsStatistics are used Statistics Introduction Statistics are used everyday in life, and are very important in the everyday world. One important use of statistics is to summarize a collection of data in a clear and understandable way. For example, if a psychologist gave a personality test measuring shyness to all 2500 students attending a small college, How might these measurements be summarized? There are two basic methods: numerical and graphical. Using the numerical approach one might compute st...
