Lever

In Trolley, it is seen as justifiable to turn the lever and kill one to save five lives. The single person’s death is just a foreseen consequence of the actions require to save the lives of the five. However, in Transplant, it is seen as not acceptable to kill and harness the organs of one person to save five lives. Thomson (SG. P132) attempts to explain the essential means test by asking whether their presence is absolutely required to save the five. Her test means that using the patient’s body…

life, I found that the music box symbolized more than just a box that played mysterious music. While using a music box, in order for the music to play you have to turn the ratchet lever. When you stop turning the ratchet lever, the music stops. This is similar to life. With life, if you don’t keep turning the ratchet lever, or if you don’t keep going on…

Over the past few years the Greeks have affected the society by contributing primarily their advanced technology. Many of their advanced technology consisted of simple machines such as the lever, screw, cranes, and gears. These simple machines allowed the performance of work be held effortlessly. In my Rube Goldberg Machine we demonstrated the key aspects, of the ancient Greeks society by focusing on the five different components and representing their advanced technological accomplishments.…

It had a lever inside that the rat would repeatedly move by accident. As it did, food would be dispensed. The rat learned to go to the lever once placed in the box after a few times. The positive reinforcement would cause the rat to always go to the lever to receive the consequence of food. Skinner showed negative reinforcement exposing it to an electric current which produced unpleasant sensations. When placed in the box, this rat did the same as the other an accidently moved the lever. However…

Taylor and Daniel came up with three different main variables: lever arm length; to see how much leverage gets the car the farthest, car length; to see if a small car will steer worse, wheel size; to see if having a bigger wheel fairs better. In order to test these variables the team decided to build two different cars. Daniel would build a lego car with small wheels and a long lever arm. And Taylor would build a record car with a small lever arm. These two cars turned out fair, but one had a…

still had eight steps. Another change I made was instead of having a toy car roll down a ramp at the beginning, I changed it to a toy train down a bumpy hill of train tracks. I also used many Legos. I used it for my levers and my pulley instead of using a real pulley and wood levers. The one last big change was that I took away the screw and replaced it with a ramp. Those are the changes in my prototype phase. I encountered a lot of problems. One of which is measuring the Tetherball to hit…

SAFETY Good cycling is safe cycling IMPORTANT • Always wear a protective helmet when riding a bicycle. • Always hold the handlebars and keep your feet on the pedals. • Slow down at road junctions and look both ways before crossing. • Give way to pedestrians and to motor vehicles. • Watch out for vehicles pulling in and out of traffic and for doors opening on parked vehicles. • Do not cycle on pavement. Always use bike paths or cycle tracks when available and keep to the side intended for cyclist…

Assignment one: Introduction Extinction is recognized as the phenomena in which behaviors that have been Pavlovian condition slowly begins to weaken over time without direct input into devaluing the original learnt behaviors.(Bouton, Winterbauer, & Todd, 2012) However, while in general cases this does happen studies have also found that if an alternate or replacement behavior is suddenly put into extinction the organism will very often begin to revert to another behavior implying that…

place and resurgence. The study used reinforced lever pressing of rats with three phases testing the relapse behaviour. “The first phase had involved a VI30s Schedule of food delivery in Phase 1. In Phase 2, pressing the original lever was no longer reinforced, and pressing an alternative lever was reinforced on a fixed-ratio (FR) 10 schedule. In Phase 3, pressing the alternative lever was also placed on extinction, and responding on the original lever then increased”( Timothy et.al…

B.F. Skinner was a radical behaviorist who is most known for his self-titled Skinner Box and operant conditioning. Radical behaviorism assumes that behavior should be viewed as a consequence resulting from environmental histories of reinforcement. Behaviorism as a whole also does not take internal events, such as thinking, perceiving and unobservable emotions as an appropriate cause of an organism’s behaviors. However, B.F. Skinner was an exception to this traditional definition of…
