enough not to respond. This is a textbook example of learned helplessness. In psychology‚ learned helplessness is defined as the behavior of an organism to ignore‚ assume and/or submit to pain or other unfavorable stimuli after having been repeatedly exposed to the said unpleasant stimuli for an extended period of time (Hiroto & Seligman‚ 1975). The concept that this submission can lead to clinical depression or mental illness is known as the learned helplessness theory. With depression contributing

Since I was a girl I have had an innate passion for horses. They are truly my escape from anything and everything crazy that life throws at me. When I ride my horse I feel the closest to invincible that I will ever be. It is one of the most freeing feelings in the world and I can’t imagine my life without it. I have competed at several horse shows with classes that include jumping and flatwork. Although competing is fun‚ I would much rather be galloping across a field at sunset than being judged

Gender is a social construct that outlines the roles‚ behavioursfavour one group to the detriment of the other (WHO). Gender equality reinforces the attitude and practice of fair and impartial distribution of resources and prospects for men and women. It promotes equal opportunity to men and women in any social congregation. The innate property with which one is born does not perpetuate gender differentiation.However the human world has created virtual and real gender images confined to role specifications

Pattern associated molecular factors (PAMPs) are viral factors including proteins‚ lipids‚ and viral nucleic acids that are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) within the cell. During viral infection‚ PAMPs accumulate in different cellular components and once recognized by the PRRs activate the intracellular signaling pathways that are involved in the innate immune response. These pathways

Introduction: A learned taste aversion is the aversion developed by an individual for a certain food that caused him an illness. John Garcia first discovered this phenomenon during his experiments on rats. After classical conditioning‚ rats associate the taste of the food (CS) with getting sick (UC). They therefore create an aversion for that specific taste. Garb and Stunkard (1974) conducted a study on learned taste aversion. They sent a questionnaire about such experience to 700 people. The results

6.2: Learned and Unlearned Responses The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the response distances of learned and unlearned responses. Since the p-value‚ 0.04‚ is less than 0.05‚ I would reject the null hypothesis. As the level of information processing increases‚ the response time increases because completing the reaction would take much more time if higher brain processing were required. I do see a difference in the response time when using a learned visual cue versus

What I Have Learned In this class I have learned so many different things about Microsoft Excel‚ Word‚ and PowerPoint. Each program that we covered has its uses in a professional setting. They also have many personal uses as well. Microsoft Excel we were taught how to use excel to create budgets‚ and also how to take that budget and make it into a graph. This is really beneficial for me in my personal life‚ because I have never used a budget. Now I can’t monitor what I am spending and
