Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? In my own opinion No but as u read more about it some things need to be preserved. For instance animals help the crops of the foods that we eat. Snakes help to cure different diseases. Humans help the plants and animals to grow. The fact that human beings are a species means that they depend on many other species

Avoidance Conditioning Extinction: Process of learning to avoid some unpleasant stimulus‚ such as learning not to place your hand on a hot stove. Spontaneous Recovery: Reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of rest following extinction but without further reinforcement. Reinforcement: Presentation of the unconditioned stimulus immediately following the conditioned stimulus

To eliminate unwanted behaviors two concepts were established extinction and punishment. Extinction is not to reward the behavior and punishment is simply take way a positive stimulus for the behavior. This theory of operant conditioning is agreeable because it is found in everyday living in society. The disagreeable

Although humans seem to interfere and even initiate this decline of animal population‚ we ourselves are a product of nature‚ and if allowing extinction benefits the overall wellbeing of our species‚ then it is our natural obligation to allow such extinction to take place. Mosquitos are the largest human killers in the world. They are not only efficient‚ blood sucking organisms‚ but also the most efficient disease carrying organism. The Pacific vampire

In this essay‚ I will be discussing the leading causes of the recent endangerment of both the North American bats and coral reefs. There are ultimate and proximate causes for each of these species continued extinction. In correlation‚ the extinctions of North American bats and coral reefs would severely impact other organisms in their ecosystem in any ways. Most recently biologists went to complete their annual bat census only to discover that an abundance of bats were quickly dying off or already

Week Four Discussion 2 1. In your own words‚ describe two main differences between classical and empirical probabilities. The differences between classical and empirical probabilities are that classical assumes that all outcomes are likely to occur‚ while empirical involves actually physically observing and collecting the information. 2.

Case Study: Blake Electronics CASE: 1.) MAI’s proposal directly gives Steve the conditional probabilities he needs (e.g.‚ probability of a successful venture given a favorable survey). Although the information from Iverstine and Kinard (I&K) is different‚ we can easily use Bayes’ theorem to on I&K information to compute the revised probabilities. As such‚ does not need any additional information from I&K. 2.) Steve’s problem involves three decisions. First‚ should he contract the services

Phobias can be acquired through classical conditioning by pairing a neutral stimulus with something that causes grave pain (NIU‚ 2003). Phobia reactions can be ongoing unless the individual is exposed to the extinction process. According to NIU (2003)‚ during the extinction process‚ an individual must face the fear without the presence of the unconditioned stimulus. For example‚ in the experiment conducted by Watson and Rayner‚ Little Albert formed a phobia of white rats and other furry
