responses that are followed by Favourable consequences and they tend not to repeat those responses that are followed by neutral or unfavourable consequences. In Skinner’s scheme‚ favourable‚ neutral or unfavourable consequences involve reinforcement‚ extinction and punishment respectively. In operant conditioning‚ reinforcement refers to any process that strengthens a particular behavior—that is‚ increases the chances that the behavior will occur again. According to Skinner‚ reinforcement can occur in

One will see how the animals are saved once they start to become extinct and the outcome of the animals once they get off the extinction list. As old as man and time individuals have killed animals for food. In the beginning‚ when man killed for food‚ they used the entire animal they killed not just for food. They used its hide for clothing‚ shelter‚ and the bones as weapons. It

Introduction Endangered animals are one of the most issues that are affecting the earth today. Endangered animals are any species of animals that is at significant risk of extinction due to the dramatic decline in its population and habitat destruction. The endangerment caused by poaching‚ global warming and human activities. All life on earth is part of a nature balanced‚ and all species are dependent on each other to maintain the planet’s ecosystem. Removing one species from the system will have

alone. That response would be the salivation of the dog. A tube that was in the dog’s mouth then measured the saliva. When the unconditioned stimulus (US) was paired with a conditioned stimulus (CS)‚ it eventually resulted in a conditioned response. Extinction results if there is a decrease in frequency or strength of a learned response due to the failure to continue to pair the unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus. Classical conditioning are things you do every day that you consider doing

However‚ there are other reasons‚ such as preserving the species to ensure it does not go into extinction‚ giving people a chance to explore wildlife that is impossible to find in a city and protecting the human population from any threats caused by dangerous animals. These reasons outweigh that the animal has lost some freedom. Keeping an animal in captivity can be used to protect the animal from extinction. In the wild there are many dangers that could affect the population of animal species‚ mainly

Two animals that I chose are Panthera leo spelaea known as European or Eurasian cave lion and cave bear. European cave lion lived from about 370‚000 to 10‚000 years ago. From the paintings and the fossils that have been found we can say that cave lion is much bigger that the normal lions that we know today. Rounded‚ protruding ears‚ tufted tail‚ and perhaps faint‚ tiger-like stripes are the common thing between all of the lion caves. Mountain lion was living in Europe until the last European Ice

Some scientists believe that it can‚ but then the question is what is operant and classical conditioning? Also what is extinction mean and how is it achieved in both conditions? These are the topics I will be answer and I will also be giving examples to each phobia and addiction that can happen through classical and operant conditioning. Classical Conditioning “Classical

Reintroduction of Wolves to Yellowstone Reintroduction is defined as the act or attempt to bring back a species to its known niche after being threatened to near extinction (Howard and Somers 2009). This was the case for the gray wolf population in Yellowstone National Park‚ as well as throughout most of the U.S. The gray wolves at one point occupied the U.S. in large numbers‚ but when settlers came to America‚ a conflict between the wolves and the settlers became apparent. The conflict was that

Lastly‚ human lives will also be benefited by another important technological advancement: animal clonation. Species extinction will be reduced or even stopped‚ as well as hunger rates to the increase in supply of food. To sum up‚ animal clonation will solve some of the key issues which are actually part of the world’s daily agenda. Overall‚ human life will be changed

TOPIC: Why is a decline of large carnivores important? - The roles of large carnivores in the ecosystems They make population of herbivores smaller and thus preserve balance of plants and they also turn grass lands into tundra. They disrupt natural balance of other animals and their natural habitat. That why humans kill them - Positive and negative impacts on the presence and the absence of large carnivores‚ respectively Positive impact on the presence is that they keep plants balance
