Token economies have been used successfully to reduce the latency of responding to instructions; Buisson, Murdock, Reynolds and Cronin (1995) used a token economy to decrease the response latency for completing headings within a set time limit in hearing impaired children and Fjellstedt and Sulzer-Azároff (1973) used a token system to reduce latency of a student who did not follow directions in a given time limit. The children received tokens, which were paired to back up reinforcers contingent

INTRO In the world we live in today, more employers than ever before are looking to hire individuals who have experience with computer programming and coding. The growing job market in this field requires that more students learn these skills in order to bring their knowledge into the workplace. However, some students do not have this opportunity, as they have never been introduced to computer sciences. There are several reasons why this may occur, but one of the most prevalent is that students

I built my first computer in 1997 installing a brand new 2.4ghz wireless card. At that point in time not knowing how this frequency was going to have such a profound effect on the world. I have seen it change from a simple telephone Tx Rx to a device that allows people to upload their every waking moment. But it has far more practical uses than this, you see this frequency has saved mine and others lives on numerous occasions. Working as a communications specialist in the Armed Forces over the last

The physical health problems caused by the computers for children Introduction The invention of the electronic tools e.g. computers make people lead an efficient and convenient life. The efficiency, convenience and practicability of the electronic tools e.g. computers attract both adults and children, and make them use these tools in their daily life (Thomée, 2015). As has been seen, the use of computers and in adults’ work is becoming more frequent and majority of children use these tools in their

“…life can be much broder once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.” When I heard these words by the late Steve Jobs in a video that was just 1 minute 42 seconds long, it left a big impact and changed the way how I looked at the world. Following closely the rivalry between the companies Microsoft and Apple and their

Computer Ethics Computer ethics is the systematic study of the ethical and social impact of computers in the information society. The ethical and social issues under discussion involve the acquisition, distribution, storage, processing and dissemination of digital data in information systems and how individuals and groups interact with these systems and data. The moral considerations of computer ethics are related to the responsibility and accountability of the computer users and professionals with

The computer was first brought into existence in the late 1930’s using vacuum tubes to create the sounds that are found in motion pictures today and since then; there has been a non-stop growth in the advancement of our technology and society. Growth can sometimes flourish so fast that it can be hard to keep track of especially in the areas that it may be easily overlooked until it comes to be necessary, such as the ethics. This new type of technological development brings ethical concerns upon us

Computers are indeed a necessary part of our lives day in and out. Some of us need to face them all day, others spend only a few hours or less. Nevertheless it is undeniable all of us get to a certain point in time where our eyes feel the strain of using it. How can we avoid computer eyestrain? Here are a few pointers to help our eyes stay healthy. Break up the time we spend on the computer. For those that need to spend hours at a time on the computer, the degree of eyestrain often correlates

In my interview session I interviewed John Daniels, who has been working with in the STEM and CIS community for many years. In this session we spoke on his trials and tribulations, the career paths he chose, and where it landed him in life. Mr. Daniels was raised in a segregated community where every neighborhood was divided based on race. Even though everyone was close in each neighborhood, there was still a division in the community as a whole. When John was growing up, teachers were like an extension
