Homing pigeon

The four groups of pigeons were then placed within the chamber once per day and were subjected to four different conditions each of which ran for 10 sessions for either 40 minutes or 60 reinforces, this was solely dependent on which came first. The first condition was fairly simple and aimed to train the pigeon to respond to key 1 using a schedule of Variable interval 30s. After 10 sessions the pigeons would be subjected to condition two were the pigeons would now be trained to respond to key to using the same Variable interval 30s second schedule; however, key 1 would now be put under extinction. Once this had been completed the birds would now be subjected to condition three, were the same Variable interval schedule would be placed on Key 3, but Key 2 and key 1 would undergo extinction. Once this was completed the birds would be subjected the final condition were all three keys would be placed under…

Nevertheless my imagination still swirling as it was my first time traveling to this destination. The destination was Markham Park Shooting Range. As the car ride took about an hour, that alone gave enough time for my excitement to bloom. When we…

In "Migrant Hostel", the poet is reflect upon the experience of living as a migrant for 2 years, reminiscing on what he alienation and the sense of not belonging to the country when he first came to Australia. Skrzynecki uses metaphor techniques such as "comings and goings, arrivals of the newcomer…… departure" to convey the sense of migrant have an uncertainly of their life in a new immigration place. He also used simile in "like a homing pigeon circling to get its bearings" to describe that…

Introduction: We are running an experiment using pigeons that will teach us about resurgence after extinction. Previous studies, such as Leitenberg et. al (Leitenberg et. al, 1970), have shown that it is possible for a behaviour that has been previously extinguished to have a sudden resurgence and become prevalent again. Podlesnik et. al, (Podlesnik et. al, 2006) attempted to re-create this experiment, and found the same results, the rats relapsed and returned to their previously extinct…

At the University of Chicago Mrs. Mason showed two different test the first two rats in a box one was trapped in a tube the other was free. The free rat figured out how to open the…

hostel; where individual identity is replaced with anonymity, he reflects on his struggles with cultural identity and belonging as he observes the division between his pre-war Polish heritage and his newfound foreign home. See, when directing you to lines 10-11 this sense of geographic belonging is well demonstrated through the use of simile. “Like a homing pigeon circling to get its bearings” by using this technique Skrzynecki effectively provides us with a visual image of a disorientated bird…

The session durations lasts for a maximum of 40 mins or 60 reinforces depending on which ever happens first. …

his “father” as “father” but not “dad “demonstrates his respects towards his father, however their relationship between father and son ebbs and flows out. Therefore Peter Skrzynecki successfully reveals our desire to belong to a community or to a group is a significant part of being human, as readers feels sympathetic toward the migrants because the readers learn about the disconnection with society despite the hardship faced. Skrzynecki emphasis the desire to belong to a community is shown…
