Explanation:

It is an example of superstitious behavior that is resulting from accidental reinforcement. The accidental reinforcer occurs after an act that may unintentionally strengthen the likelihood of the occurrence of that act. Superstitious behavior is often the result of accidental reinforcement  

<u>For example: </u>

A golfer may be lean as nears the hole. Such learning followed the past by the ball going into the hole (reinforcer) so even though leaning has no causal effects on whether the ball goes in, the accidental contingent relationship between leaning and ball being holed leads to reinforcement of leaning also called adventitious reinforcer.

1. Many sacrifices will be made as it will be necessary for me to stay away from my family and friends, which may be a little lonely for the duration of the research. It may also be necessary for me to live in a place that is not very comfortable and has fewer resources that I am used to. It may be that the place where the research will be carried out has a very different geography and climate from the place where I live, which may generate even more discomforts for me, such as very high or very low temperatures.

2. Ideally, I should take few personal belongings, so I don't have to spend a lot of time managing them and focus my time on doing the research. However, my management must be around the most necessary personal items, which I could not live without.

3. This will depend on the research and what it is evaluating, but I can guarantee that computers and organizational systems will be needed through spreadsheets and software that remain the tabulation of the collected data, their storage and optimization.
