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.

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

G10 science By Freya Li Practical Investigation Resistance in Wire Aim: To investigate if the length of wire affects its resistance and find out how the resistance changes when the length of wire increases. Hypothesis: My prediction is that as the length of wire increases‚ the resistance will also increase. This is because current is the flow of electrons in a circuit and voltage makes the electrons flow through the circuit. The electrons have to collide with the atoms in the wire‚ which makes

Observing a lesson in progress is much easier than actually teaching the lesson. Many teachers stress how difficult and time consuming developing a lesson plan can be. One cannot by any means understand until they have had the experience of what it is like. It may be easy to jot down the standards but what has to follow is a test of one’s dedication to the term. The social studies lesson taught as a requirement for EED-465 was a history lesson drawn from the topic Trail of Tears. This was a broad

Practical Uses of Paralanguage & Non-verbal Communication. A year ago‚ I had an argument with my father for an hour. On a fine day after the air was cleared‚ my mother insightfully cross-analysed the argument for my better understanding of the situation. She told me the argument was aggravated NOT because of the context of the arguments but the way I put it forth. To which my reply was‚ “I was not arguing‚ that’s the way I talk.” Paralanguage Now‚ this incident brings me to the topic of paralanguage
