Stimuli Experiment

B. Anything similar to a one stimulus gets the same response as the other stimulus.

Mackintosh (1997) starts his paper with a critique of radical behaviourism. In the 1960s, Pavlovian and Instrumental conditionings were main theories to explain animal and human behaviour. However, with cognitivism coming into the picture, learning theory has dramatically improved. Animal theorists started paying more attention to animal cognition, and nothing but well came from it, as researchers

Students will carefully observe acts of aggression and prosocial behavior on television, report their observations, and analyze their data to draw conclusions.

Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is to encourage discrimination in rat #4, to measure how the rat distinguishes between pressing the lever when a light is on, and when it is off. Discrimination is the tendency for behavior to occur in situations that are very similar to the one in which the behavior was learned, but not in situations that differ from it. Therefore, as the lamp light was on while the rat was learning to press the lever in previous experiments, the tendency for the rat to discriminate when the light is on, or off, will be measured in this experiment.

One of the pieces of stimulus material was an excerpt from Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. In this piece of stimulus material, he broke down the different factors that affected wages and profit in Europe. Adam Smith concluded the best economic solution is a free-market economy where there is little to no government regulation. Moving forward a couple hundred years, in a different piece of stimulus material, Richard Nixon addressed a different idea. In his Address to the Nation on Labor Day, President Nixon presented a new economic philosophy to the American people, the limiting of certain freedoms and increased government regulation on the economy. Since President Nixon’s change in direction on economic policy, President Barack Obama

So my guess was correct again. The blue water did slowly enter the red water.

Watson and Rayner set out to substantiate his theory by recruiting a subject, who basically stayed in a hospital attached John Hopkins University, and the conducting an experiment on the chosen infant. Their aim was to classically condition the infant to fear a white laboratory rat. The infant, Albert B. or “Little Albert”, was a physically healthy and emotionally stable 9-month old boy (Watson & Rayner, 1920, p. 1). He was described as a very relaxed baby who hardly ever cried. In the emotional tests, before conditioning, Albert was exposed to a series of objects, which included fire, cotton wool, a monkey, a dog, a white rabbit, a mask with hair, and a white laboratory rat. He had not shown a scared or nervous response toward these neutral stimuli, and particularly adored the white laboratory rat. (chaopret 7, p. 239).

The difference between the stimulus and the negative stimulus positive is that the negative stimulus depends on making the person wants to avoid a particular disadvantage, while the positive stimulus depends on making the person trying to get a certain gain. Both methods are for them Astkhaddamathma But stimulus may have a negative side effects, The recurrence passive sentences in the long term may affect in the psyche of the

The testing environment for this experiment was an eight by 15 college classroom. The college classroom provided normal lighting (bright and clear) with a slightly higher temperature than normal room temperature. Inside the college classroom, there were 30 desks from the middle to the back of the room and at the front of the room was a large desk with a computer on top. There was a whiteboard on the front wall as well, with another computer and a printer on top of a desk to left corner of the room. There were three stimuli for this experiment, a list of 20 random words, a sheet of eight by 11 loose leaf paper and a two-page response sheet. The first stimulus was the list of 20 random words, which had 10 random words read out loud for each condition to all participants. The second stimulus was the sheet of eight by 11 loose leaf paper, which was used during the second condition of the experiment to write down the 10 random words they were read out loud to them. The last stimulus was the two-page response sheet, that already provided an identification

The enriched arrangement had many furnishings in the pen while the barren arrangement pen only included a wooden log. All other living and eating conditions not including the type of pen kept in were the same. While living under these conditions, pigs were trained to perform a task in which they were to discriminate between two sounds. One of the sounds was a positive stimulus which indicated that food was going to be presented while the other was a negative stimulus indicating that a bag was fixing to be presented and waved. The pigs were supposed to go to the hatch when given the positive stimulus and not go when given the negative one. Once pigs passed a test showing they could discriminate these two stimuli from each other, they were able to have the ambiguous stimulus, a toy squeak, presented to them. The pigs were presented five trials of the ambiguous stimulus, and they were given the stimulus five times per trial along with five presentations for both the negative and positive stimuli. After their first presentation of the new stimulus, pigs were moved to the pen opposite of their original one, were tested under these new conditions, and then moved again to the type of pen they were originally placed in and given two more presentations. The independent variable in this study was the different types of living conditions, barren and enriched, that the

Many Scientist have done experiments to see if animals have certain ways of communicating with each other and learning. Scientists then were interested to see if the nature has anything to do with the way they learn and communicate. It is interesting enough to understand how animals relate with each other and their ways of learning from one another. In this chapter there are different ways at which scientists looked at the effects of imprinting, the associative learning, and classical conditioning.

The purpose of experiment 1 and 2 was to use AirTrack equipment to experimentally verify Newton’s Second Law in a friction-free environment and to analyze the energy transformation and conservation when a conservation force does work on an object within a system. The lab method that allowed us to achieve the lab purpose was using the experimental values obtained from using AirTrack and comparing it to the theoretical values obtained. The purpose of these courses two courses is that, the first experiment a constant net force but not constant mass as we added 0.100kg to the glider each run. The second mass had constant masses as we transferred 0.010 g to each glider. From table 1 you can examine that as mass increases, the acceleration. There are examples

The method and procedure used to complete this experiment were 210 student volunteers who were paired in groups going from 1-8 people. All used MediaLab, 2012 which used an Involuntary

The Moral Sense Test (http://www.moralsensetest.com/user.php), is comprised of multiple tests, three of which the website uses to complete the surveyed user’s “morality profile.” These three test are quantifying the test-takers levels of morality, disgust, and empathy. Exactly what hypothesis is being tested through building this morality profile, however, cannot be released as the researchers feel it could bias test-takers answers. Before any tests can begin, all users must give consent and answer questions about personal information such as gender and religion so that results may be sorted between different genders and different religions. The first test is disgust, obviously used to determine how easily disgusted the test taker is, consisting of twenty-seven predetermined but randomly selected questions. The questions could be answered on a scale from “does not describe me well” to “neutral” to “describes me very well,” with notches also in between “neutral” and the other two selections. The questions vary between very simply answered questions such as “I would rather eat a piece of fruit than a piece of paper,” to questions that required more thought like “You accidentally touch the ashes of a person who has been cremated.” The level of disgust is determined and weighed against the general public, different genders, and different religions. The same pattern continues with the next two tests, empathy and morality. The empathy test follows the same scale as the test on
