Akers’ social learning theory is a theory that offers an explanation for learned behavior. The delinquent…

Every even has a cause. This fact is known as determinism. (Sider, 113) Determinism offers a theoretical explanation of how events occur. It refutes the theory of free will which states that people are in control of the decisions they make. Sider, being a proponent of determinism, argues that people’s belief in determinism is reasonable since the success of science is quite evident.

much had a good grasp on gender theory. Obviously there would be more complex theories I hadn’t heard of yet, but I thought I had a decent understanding of the basics, and that the novels and information presented in this course would simply expand upon that.

Change detection is a famous theory that was first presented by Dr. Ronald A. Rensink. One of the central problems change detection was set out to solve was a change blindness, the obliviousness to change in particular visual stimuli. Explicitly, an individual can be presented with identical photographs, but one has a minor difference. Change blindness is regarded as the cause if a participant doesn't manage to discern the change between the pictures. In a study conducted by (Rensink, 2002)…
