I think an example of a voluntary unpleasant consequence in a work place could be if you are getting yelled at by someone and you think before you speak and still decide it would be okay to yell back.

For example‚ the odor of vanilla was presented after a mild acid solution (similar to lemon juice) was placed in the dog’s mouth . The mild acid solution caused the dog to salivate . However‚ after several trials‚ the dog began to salivate solely to the odder

LTM and Duration Duration of STM One of the key differences between the concepts of STM and LTM is duration. “Duration” refers to how long a memory lasts before it is no longer available.

the neurotransmitter action in the brain. Some drugs slow down activity in the brain by making transmission of neurotransmitter message between neurone less effective. Therefore‚ this needs to be substituted with drugs to function normally. For example‚ alcohol is one of these types’ drugs that seem to boost the power of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA.
