Concept explainers
To explain: Whether learning takes place or not if after a class on importance of seat belt, out to 40 candidates 2 more candidates started using seatbelt other then already using 20 candidates.
Introduction: Learning is the process of association of different types of information and then storing and processing it in the brain. Hippocampus is the main area of the brain that is associated with the process of learning. There are two types of learning processes: associative and non-associative learning processes.
To explain: The relation between learning and actual buckling of the seat belts
Introduction: Learning is a process of continuous practice. Brain stores the information and compares with the incoming information. If the same kind of information is coming in, then the task is performed more efficiently on the basis of already stored information in the brain.

- A footwear company wants to test the effectiveness of its new insoles (soft insole and air-fill insole) designed to prevent shin splints resulting from running. They hire a group of physical trainers and a statistician, who recruits 100 healthy adult runners with the same age range to participate in a study. The statistician randomly assigns the 60 runners to follow the se weekly running schedule, wherein 30 runners will use new insoles and the remaining 30 will use the existing insoles the company already sells. After 10 weeks, the statistician records the number of runners from each group that has developed shin splints. They made sure that the results are valid that they have performed the testing three times for each treatment. Illustrate the type of research design used in the situation. Show how the samples were assigned to the treatments.arrow_forwardDuring your ID picture taking, the photographer told you to smile to look good on the picture.

- Researchers studying whether a certain new medicine reduces pain conducted the following study. (Note the following is a made-up example). Subjects with painful arthritis were randomly assigned to one of three groups: *Group A received a yellow pill with real medicine-the medicine being evaluated. *Group B received no medicine, no pill. Group C received a fake pill-yellow 1 with no medicine in it. Subjects with painful arthritis used a ten-point pain scale to rate their joint pain before and after their treatment. Which of the groups is the placebo group? (a) Group A (b) Group B (c) Group Carrow_forwardWhat is the definition of the term learning style?arrow_forwardA tennis player has recently decided to take up squash but has found it difficult to learn to not use her wrist while swinging a paddle because wrist motion is used extensively when playing tennis.

- share the who, what, when, where, why, and how of a topic or event. I use vivid language and give plenty of details. I like to present information this way because it can help readers visualize what they are reading. What kind of nonfiction text structure am I?arrow_forwardA researcher has designed a card choice task to better understand altered decision making in a group of patients who have sustained damage to their ventromedial prefrontal cortex (compared to a non-damaged control group). Participants complete 120 trials. On each trial they choose to flip over a card from one of two decks of face down cards labeled deck 1 and deck 2. Each card flipped over wins or loses an amount of money. In deck 1 (the “bad deck”), 9 out of 10 cards wins $100 but one out of ten cards loses $1250. In deck 2 (the “good deck”), 9 out of 10 cards wins $50 and one out of ten loses $250. The researcher measures the number of choices from the “good deck” versus the “bad deck”, and measures anticipatory skin conductance responses immediately before participants choose from the “good deck” compared to the “bad deck”. The research finds that after experiencing wins and losses from 60 choice trials, control group participants on average begin to choose the “good deck” more…arrow_forwardA researcher has designed a card choice task to better understand altered decision making in a group of patients who have sustained damage to their ventromedial prefrontal cortex (compared to a non-damaged control group).
