Observational astronomy

The effect of Observational Learning on Behavior and Memory Various set of statements investigate how learning is accumulated and how direct experience, reinforcement, or punishment lead to learning. Despite the fact that scientists focused more on the most well-known learning theories such as classical conditioning and operant conditioning, observational learning became substantial for learning and memory as it is related to everyday life. Observational learning, also accepted as social…

11a, lab 1: Motion, Measurement and Statistics In the first lab we will investigate the motion of a ball rolling down an inclined plane. We will use this simple system to investigate the concept of systematic and random measurement uncertainties to understand how much we can trust a measurement. We will then compare the experimental outcome with theory. I. Ball on an inclined plane: Measuring motion We want to measure the motion of a ball that rolls down on an inclined plane…

Nature versus Nurture has been an ongoing debate for years, ever since the first theorists Skinner, Freud, Bandura, and Bowlby concluded their own theories. Some said that is was nature such as genetics that affected a child all throughout life; others argued that nurture and how a child was raised caused the outcome. Theorists and scientists alike all picked a side and tried to prove which had more importance in life. Where a child is raised is going to affect the development more than just…

The significance of this experiment is to analyze the flirting behavior throughout our college campus. In an effort to elucidate the general finding of flirting behavior among college students, we have compared two waves of data, analyzing different times and days; however, the location of the study remained the same: Game room. The first wave of data analyzed the flirting behavior of students in the game room at 10am on a Monday. The following wave demonstrated the flirting behavior of students…

Background: Growing up in a fast-paced environment, where many people either knew a lot or had the art of speaking like they knew, taught me that with practice makes perfect. I was always able to learn something by watching how one acts in a certain situation. Seeing how they approach it and get through it weather positive or negative was a lesson for me. I have learned to look at a situation and evaluate it for now and how it may affect me later. I was also able to learn though process of…

Discussion It can be seen from the experimental data, that the relationship between the difference in initial pressure inside the bottle rocket and the atmosphere, and the vertical height reached by the bottle rocket after 0.1 seconds, is proportional. This is quantitatively demonstrated by the high R2 value of 0.99533 of the graphed relationship, which indicates the likeness of points in a data set to an established trend; where 1 = a perfect relationship. The gradient of 0.0236 in the…

Interviews with children who have witnessed traumatic incidences can be very difficult to conduct because the objectives of identifying an accurate incidence without false accusation are hard to control. Upon looking at the interview conducted by Kathleen MacFarlane, a few issues stand out. One issue in this interview is that Macfarlane, begins the interview with the following statement, “Mr. Monkey is a little bit chicken, and he can't remember any of the naked games, but we think that you can…

If you were to google pictures of “war zone” and then google again “riots” you would see a lot of similarities between the images: fire, destruction, debris, thick plumes of smoke. These images will give you a good idea as to what transpired and the eventual aftermath, in the evening of the Vancouver Hockey Riot. Some would argue a series of unfortunate events, such as inadequate planning, closing liquor stores early that day, and allowing overcrowding of downtown Vancouver. However what really…

Social Learning Theory and Strain Theory (Siegel & Walsh 2016 pp. 111) Social learning theory implies that criminal behavior is learned through close interactions with others, this theory, based on the assumption that all children are good at birth and have been taught to be bad. Depending on the children’s peer environment, any deviant values from interaction of family, friends or associates. If brought up in the wrong environment, nine out of ten will probably cave-in to crime. As…
