A retrospective study of a training program this time concentrating on Seizure Response Dogs by Kirton et al. [91] reported similar benefits in QOL. Records on animals' details, training programs, response and alerting signals, reliability and effect on seizures’ frequency were obtained. Twenty-two patients took part in the study, all with an established diagnosis of epilepsy validated by a neurologist and with 87% having a childhood-onset epilepsy. In average there were 36 seizures/ month with…
Rotter was the first person to develop the concept of ‘locus of control’ in 1966 (Carrim, 2006). To define the concept, Rotter (1966) used the empirical law of effect, which mentioned how people were encouraged in seeking for positive motivation, and avoided the negative inspirations. Skinner’s concept of reinforcement helped Rotter (1996) explain the concept, the concept mentioned that in case the results of responses by a person are satisfactory or unsatisfactory, then the possibility of this…

Question 1 Anggiat Bright Sitorus 712214 The purpose of utilizing four different personality characteristics on Prisoner’s Dilemma game is to elucidate cooperative behavior against competitive behavior. The research question is: to what extent does personality have an impact on the behavior of people in the Prisoner’s Dilemma game? Locus of control, self-monitoring, type-A’s behavior and sensation seeking are the main focus of personality characteristics in this experiment. The…
Cognitive functional tests of an animal can be divided into two categories, attentive and recollection tests, both of which will be examined in this experiment. [ref 1] The memory test is the Morris Water Maze and the attentive test is the Pre-Pulse Inhibition test. Both tests in this experiment are exercise different parts of the brain, the Water Maze exercises the hippocampus, and the Pre-Pulse Inhibition exercises the brainstem. The Water Maze experiment is an exercise regarding the…
Paul Kenny constructed an experiment to find out how people become obese. Instead of humans, he used rats as the test subjects. The rats ate less healthy food and more high-calorie junk food. They gained weight and became obese. Usually, when the rats would eat the healthy bland food, Kenny would give a slight foot shock when to stop eating. After feeling the shock they would run away, now that the rats are obese they ignore the slight shock and continue to eat the food. This reminded Kenny of a…
Self-Affirmation Theory Steele (1988) proposed a theory that is mainly concerned about the overall goal of the self-system to protect an image of its self-integrity, moral and capability, which is called the Self-Affirmation Theory. Self-Integrity, according to Weitzenkorn (2013), is about being true to your values, beliefs and convictions. However, when Self-Integrity is threatened, that is when people will respond in different ways to restore themselves. (Aronson et al., 1999; Sherman & Cohen,…
Seligman’s theory agrees with Skinner’s operant conditioning theory and is another alternative in operant conditioning because Seligman’s experiment is based on how dogs behave when subjected to shock this is similar to Skinner’s experiment with the rats and they were also subjected to shock. Seligman’s experiment with the dogs included the dogs receiving electric shock when the light appeared for 10 seconds each time. Seligman experimented with the dogs to see if the dogs could escape from the…
moprhine’s effects and found that the environment where the rat receives the drug does in fact influence tolerance to drug effects. This current study conducted two separate experiments to gain insight into the importance of environmental stimuli in the conditioning process. The rats used in the experiment all had the same pre testing procedure therefore these results are reliable. By understanding conditioned tolerance in lab rats, we can further use this information to understand the…
