proposed the theory of connectionism which linked sensory events to behavior and described the bond between stimuli and response as a connection. By conducting research with animals‚ Thorndike concluded that learning is achieved through a process of trial-and-error and that learning is incremental. He also concluded that learning is a direct process that does not require thought and reason. He believed that all mammals learn in the same

Therapeutic Ultrasound – How Effective Is It in Overuse Running Injuries Therapeutic ultrasound (US) is a process similar to conventional ultrasound‚ in terms of its basic functionality. During a non-therapeutic US‚ a device emits and receives inaudible sound waves (usually in the range of 700‚000 to 3‚300‚000 Hz‚ or oscillations per second). These waves usually produce an image on-screen for a radiologist in order to determine internal body organs and functionality status; however‚ in therapeutic

Effect of exercise on squeezing a clothespin Natasha Hakim‚ Biology H‚ Mr.Onderdonk Introduction Does exercise make your muscles tired? In my controlled experiment I investigated this problem. My hypothesis was “If I rest first then I can squeeze the clothespin more times” My reason behind this is because during exercise I think you tire yourself out more‚ so resting before squeezing could increase number of squeezes

Thompson (Aust) Pty Ltd‚ the High Court of Australia concluded that the artists engaged to perform plays were employees as the producer exercised detailed and extensive control of the artists during rehearsals and final performance (van der Waarden‚ 2010). In the case of Zuijs v Wirth Brothers Pty Ltd‚ the High Court found that the injured circus trapeze artist during performance were employee after applying the broad control test. The court concluded that even though the trapeze artists had control

Though the experts achieved a valid statistic‚ they did not reach their primary goal. Bray and Popkin did not find significant data to support the hypothesis stating HFCS directly causes obesity (Neporent‚ 1). While Bray and Popkin weren’t successful in supporting their hypothesis‚ a Princeton study concluded that HFCS is a cause of obesity. Princeton researchers

Decomposability has been another topic to receive a lot of attention in idiom research. Gibbs (1991) investigated idiom decomposability with children varying from kindergarten to fourth grade and concluded that the younger children were‚ the more dominant the effect of decomposability was; younger participants performed better with decomposable idioms. Another outcome of the study was the role of context for older children; they did well for both decomposable

The experiment was designed to find the optimal temperature in which both fungal amylase and bacterial amylase could function appropriately to produce an enzymatic reaction to a certain solution. The results concluded that bacterial amylase had an optimal temperature of around 60°C to 65°C. The fungal amylase on the other hand had an optimal temperature of around 40°C. These results show that the bacterial amylases have a higher optimal temperature than fungal

Results Many of the ‘executives’ died of stomach ulcers. Conclusion Brady concluded it was the stress of being in control that had caused the ulcers. It couldn’t have been the shocks per se since the other monkey got the same number of shocks to its feet but didn’t get ulcers. Evaluation Where do you start? Ethics: this is one
