Response To Titchener Stimulus Error Analysis
In response to Titchener asking what do I see, I stated that it was a book of some sort! But Titchener argued that I made a stimulus error. Objected that I confused what was there as well as the object that was being observed while introspecting was in manifestation! (the book) in order to have answered correctly according to Titchener, I would have had to analyze the book as well as use a better working vocabulary in order to define the meaning of the word. My response was an error because according to Titchener, he wanted me to us my conscious mind in order to record my experience better. In order to answer correctly (according to Titchener), I should have been more passive, subjective and direct with my answer, for example, I see pages

    The Perils Of Obedience Stanley Milgram Summary

    The experimenter, teacher, and the learner were all in the same room, the learner would be strapped to a chair. The experimenter explains to the learner that “[h]e will be read lists of simple word pairs, and that he will be tested on his ability to remember the second word of a pair when he hears the first one again,” the experimenter also advises the learner that “[w]henever he makes an error, he (learner) will receive electric shocks of increasing intensity” (632); the intensity of the shocks ranged from slight shock to a severe shock. After the teacher read out loud the simple pairs or words, the experimenter would read out the first word of the pair, and the learner would attempt to answer with the second word of the pair. The teacher participated in the experiment not knowing that learner was an actor and that the learner was not receiving any electric shocks. Stanley Milgram explains that“[t]he point of the experiment is to see how far a person will proceed in a concrete and measureable situation in which he is ordered to inflict increasing pain on a protesting victim” (632). Milgram found that participants were more than willing to go pass what was comfortable to them to please authority; “Milgram found that few participants could…

    Auditory Response Time Lab Report

    The purpose of this experiment is to determine the response time for dominant and non-dominant hand for visual stimuli, and using only dominant hand to test auditory and tactile response. Also, to test involuntary the response time for the reflex of the knee from calculating the distance. Based on my group hypothesis, we said that visual stimulus dominant hand had a faster response time than non-dominant hand because the dominant hand is use more often thus repetition creates stronger connection. For only dominant we said that auditory response has the fastest reaction time because the auditory stimuli gets process faster compare to tactile and visual that has to travel longer to reach frontal lobe for response decision. For involuntary response,…

    Interpretive Stimulations Analysis

    When I first began this simulation, I was confused and unsure of how to strategize. I questioned whether my strategies should be more for the benefit of the company or for the benefit of the employee. Maybe I am naive in my thought process but I ultimately decided to strategize for the employees. It is my belief and experiences in both the corporate and non-corporate sectors that happy employees are more productive therefore leading to more profit for the business. I also believe that the more money invested into the training and safety of the employees the less likely the company will have to spend exorbitant amounts of money on turnover training, medical benefit claims and workers compensation. It was not my strategy to immediately implement pay raises. While I believe everyone likes to get a raise, I believe it is more important to invest in benefits and training. I did budget for a few smaller quarterly raises when instead of yearly because I felt a quarterly increase offered a bigger incentive. To summarize, my strategic plan was to invest in the employee’s benefits, training, and overall safety. I also supported my decision to invest in the employees by offering the smaller quarterly raises. My long range goal was to implement a “win-win” scenario and I believed the best way to do this was by investing in the people responsible for production. I believed that content employees would offer better production, therefore increasing the company’s overall profit margin.…

    24 Demonstrate How To Respond To

    2.4 There are many ways in which we can demonstrate how to respond to an individual’s reactions when communicating. A response during communication is needed for the communication to take place. If someone is talking to you and you are not responding, it is difficult for any communication to take place. When you respond to someone, it shows that you are listening to them, which then shows that you understand what they are saying and are interpreting it correctly. However, the response doesn't need to be verbal. A simple nod can even be considered communicating, as long as both participants are aware of each other and understand what is being put forth.…

    Operant Conditioning Lab Report

    In 2004, Sarah Thomas, an undergraduate student at Portland State University, completed an experiment to determine the effect of biofeedback training on muscle tension and skin temperature. The purpose of this experiment was to train the subject of the experiment to change their decrease muscle tension and increase skin temperatures in response to tones. The experiment was based on the research done by Miller and Bruckner in 1979. The experiment done by Miller and Brucker dealt with how rats can modify their heartbeats when given pleasurable brain stimulation (Lee, 2014). The same premises were used in this experiment to see if humans can adjust their muscle tension and skin temperature as a cause of stimulations. The results found in this lab report claim a correlation between a positive reinforcement and control of one’s body, but these results are invalid due to the low sample size and lack of diversity in…
