In the article it describes this concept in a very basic way by saying‚ “Suppose we have four pigeons but only three pigeonholes. No matter how we assign a hole to each pigeon‚ at least two pigeons will have to share the same hole.” This alone seem like it would be

CHAPTER 7 (LEARNING) When psychologists talk about learning‚ they are referring to a relatively permanent change in knowledge or behavior that comes about as a result of experience.

Chopin’s use of the word “lamentable” depicts marriage as a sad and mournful event; an event in which one compromises one’s identity for union. After Edna’s decision to move into the “pigeon house (Chopin 86)”‚ she resolves to have a small celebration in her home prior to the move in commemoration of this event.

The possibility that mammoths‚ passenger pigeons‚ saber-toothed cats‚ and thylacine may roam the very earth our feet stand upon once again is a thrilling‚ yet apprehensive thought. Carl Zimmer proposes this very idea in his essay “Reviving Species” and gives feedback on the topic of de-extinction. According to Zimmer‚ de-extinction is defined as‚ “The notion of bringing vanished species back to life”‚ and he elaborates the pros and cons of actually completing this ordeal (31).

Later‚ Skinner examined what behavior patterns developed in pigeons using the box. The pigeons pecked at a disc to gain access to food. From these studies‚ Skinner came to the conclusion that some form of reinforcement was crucial in learning new behaviors. After finishing his doctorate degree and working as a researcher at
