4) Use operant conditioning to explain procrastination, lying and alcoholism. Be sure to include a discussion of discriminative stimuli and consequences. Operant Conditioning describes the ability to learn to make an operant or instrumental response (Gray & Bjorklund, 2014). A behavior or action that an individual does which has an effect on the environment is an operant response. Theses voluntary, active behaviors allows subjects to learn through consequence which, influences the effect on…

strengthen heart, increases bone mass and reduces risk of heart attack. During the two consecutive days, I approached the S.M.A.R.T goal with a strategic mindset. The overall challenge was to workout in high intensity intervals for 40 minutes. I would run high intensity intervals for up to two minutes at…

With a large database, he should conduct a 70% confidence interval to choose candidates with WAR close to the sample mean. After deciding the candidates, he needs to conduct a Z test to find the players with WAR in the top 10 percent. At last, it is also important for him to understand that correlation does not…

to a song. I would like to extinguish my behavior of using social media while I am completing my assignments. Using a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement, I would reinforce myself with chocolate every time I read two pages of a textbook. A fixed interval schedule would reward my studying behavior with a good grade after an exam. A limited hold procedure would give me a small window of time to read a page of a textbook after a certain amount of time has passed. These reinforcement schedules…

religious and secular songs in Western Europe in the 11th to 16th century. The texture of the music is monophonic. This is because there only one sound also called the melody but has no accompanying harmony. Also, the sound is played at a fixed interval of time. There is the use of the drone in the music. The drone in the music is instrumental created through a sustained sound of the vielle. The style of the music can be classified as canon which refers to a kind of music that combines a…

but whether the variation is significant”. During your research variation will always occur, it is up to the research to determine the threshold, when does variation become significant or just coincidental. One of the most commonly used Confidence Interval is 95%, if the sample is due to coincidence, the difference is not significant we will fail to reject the null hypothesis, however if the difference is significant we will reject the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis, written as H0 states…

Experiment 1 showed the isometric force generated by the ADM muscle of the test subject was able to be measured accurately and quantified into EMG activity as shown in results from Table 1. The established threshold of 2.2mA was used for subsequent increases in stimulation from the threshold to show that more motor units of both Type I and Type II were simultaneously being recruited. The size of the twitch force at 20% above the threshold, 2.6mA, was not a drastic jump as was 40%, 3.2mA, which…

Logistic Regression model will be used to analyze the research data pertaining to identify the strength of religiosity and how it affects vaccination behaviors among US children age 6 years or less. The Logistic Regression Model would be used in our research because the dependent variable is a categorical variable which is define at two levels (vaccination behaviors). The Logistic Regression model is defined as a statistical analysis that used to measure the risk or odds of an event between the…

Some socially monogamous species follow a system of cooperative breeding, in which helpers within a group help assist in taking care of offspring of other parents. This increases the chance of survival of the offspring, and provides them with care such as grooming, training, and guarding. Because of the way that offspring are raised within cooperative breeding species, the fitness of offspring is greater than offspring who are not given aid by helpers. I will be discussing research done on this…

While this may be problematic during tasks that require precise timing with respect to the environment, like driving, perceiving time intervals as shorter could be beneficial when trying to pass the time during a boring, repetitive task, like folding laundry. Terhune and colleagues studied mind wandering using standard experimental lab tasks that precisely measure the construct of interest…
