Operant Conditioning Skinner showed how positive reinforcement worked by placing a hungry rat in his Skinner box. The box contained a lever in the side and as the rat moved about the box it would accidentally knock the lever. Immediately it did so a food pellet would drop into a container next to the lever. The rats quickly learned to go straight to the lever after a few times of being put in the box. The consequence of receiving food if they pressed the lever ensured that they would repeat

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF MICROWAVE HEATING OF FOOD By M . SHIVA KUMAR ( 04AG1008 ) Under the guidance of PROF. SURESH PRASAD ABSTRACT • The use of microwaves in the food industry is attributed to the lower time needed to increase the temperature of foodstuffs compared to the traditional heating methods. •However‚ the heating is not uniform and the products show hot and cold spots. • In order to analyze the behaviour of foods heated by microwave oven‚ a mathematical method was developed

Our understanding of classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning‚ and observational learning has allowed us to unlock many of the answers we sought to learn about human behavior. Classical conditioning is a technique of behavioral training‚ coined by Ivan Pavlov‚ which basically states that an organism learns through establishing associations between different events and stimuli. This helps us understand human behavior in an assortment of ways. It makes it clear that almost everything we do is

every single day. This ability is of great importance in our everyday lives. Martin‚ Carlson and Buskist (2010) deal with three different ways in which humans learn: habituation‚ classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Although all three of these can be associated with phobias‚ classical conditioning can be perhaps the strongest in terms of developing ‘‘unreasonable fears of specific objects or situations’’ (Martin et al.‚ 2010‚ p. 262) or in other words‚ phobias. Phobias can also be treated

CLASSICAL CONDITIONING OPERANT CONDITIONING Acquisition The acquisition phase is the initial learning of the conditioned responsefor example‚ the dog learning to salivate at the sound of the bell. Several factors can affect the speed of conditioning during the acquisition phase. The most important factors are the order and timing of the stimuli. Conditioning occurs most quickly when the conditioned stimulus (the bell) precedes the unconditioned stimulus (the food) by about half a second. Conditioning

Indoor Air Quality INDOOR AIR QUALITY: INTRODUCTION The connection between the use of a building either as a workplace or as a dwelling and the appearance‚ in certain cases‚ of discomfort and symptoms that may be the very definition of an illness is a fact that can no longer be disputed. The main culprit is contamination of various kinds within the building‚ and this contamination is usually referred to as "poor quality of indoor air". The adverse effects due to poor air quality in closed spaces
