Question Options:
1) punishment by the removal of a reinforcer (comfortable toilet seat)
2) punishment by the presentation of an aversive condition
3) reinforcement by the presentation of a reinforcer
4) reinforcement by the removal of a reinforcing condition.
Answer: punishment by the presentation of an aversive condition
Explanation: Contingency is an occurrence that happens by chance.
While an aversive condition is the use of a punishment to stop a behaviour.
So, in relation to the question, whenever the professor hops from his seat, he gets pinched because the toilet seat is cracked, this can be related to aversive conditioning.
The Boston Massacre was the killing of 5 colonists on March 5 1770.
Answer:
a) questionnaires
b) attitudes of student who had and who hadn't taken the course
c) difference in age group of students among whom questionnaire were distributed in both the groups.
d) restrict the age group in both the experimental groups.
Explanation:
The complete quetion is:
An investigator was interested in studying the effect of taking a course in child development upon attitudes toward childrearing. At the end of the semester, the researcher distributed a questionnaire to students who had taken the child development course. Questionnaires were also given to an equal number of students who had not taken the course. The students who had taken the child development course had different attitudes from the students who had not taken the course (cg., they had more positive response about having large families).
a) Identify the independent variable
b) Identify the dependent variable
c) identify confounding variable
d) propose a method to unconfound the experiment
a) questionnaires
b) attitudes of student who had and who hadn't taken the course
c) difference in age group of students among whom questionnaire were distributed in both the groups can lead to different understanding of questionnnaire and so affect the response towards the questions.
d) restrict the age group in both the experimental groups.
Confounding variables are variables that effect both the dependent and independent variable
Answer:
Sure.
Explanation:
A car (or automobile) is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of cars say that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than goods.Cars came into global use during the 20th century, and developed economies depend on them. The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car when German inventor Karl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars became widely available in the early 20th century. One of the first cars accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Cars were rapidly adopted in the US, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
True stress and strain are what are calculated by diving applied load by actual cross sectional area and change in length by length of specimen respectively. However, for engineering stress and strain, we use original area and original length. Generally, engineering Stress is always greater than the corresponding True Stress because the actual area increases due to Poisson's effect. Poisson's ratio is a measure of the Poisson effect, that describes the expansion of a material in directions perpendicular to the direction of compression. The value of Poisson's ratio is the negative of the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain.
