In behavior modification‚ differential reinforcement is referred to as rewarding only the desired responses/behaviors; meaning that all other behaviors and responses are ignored. For instance‚ when a child throws a tantrum at the supermarket‚ demanding for a candy bar‚ his parent can choose to ignore this behavior instead of reacting to it. As this attention may be perceived as rewarding to the child. At the point when the child understands that having a tantrum results in a non-response from his

The famous criminologist Edwin Sutherland developed Differential Association Theory in 1939. He felt that criminal behavior is behavior‚ learned‚ and is learned in face-to-face interactions with others. Differential association‚ which operates on the individual level‚ is where behavior is learned through interaction with others. Through this interaction an individual will learn the techniques and skills necessary to commit crime as well as the motives‚ rationalization‚ and attitudes necessary for

Diagonally Implicit Block Backward Differentiation Formulas for Solving Ordinary Differential Equations 1.0 Introduction In mathematics‚ if y is a function of x‚ then an equation that involves x‚ y and one or more derivatives of y with respect to x is called an ordinary differential equation (ODE). The ODEs which do not have additive solutions are non-linear‚ and finding the solutions is much more sophisticated because it is rarely possible to represent them by elementary function in close

Generally‚ the term cost of production refers to the ‘money expenses’ incurred in the production of a commodity. But money expenses are not the only expenses incurred on the production of a commodity. There are number of services and inputs such as entrepreneurship‚ land‚ capital etc.‚ which are offered by an entrepreneur without changing any price or receiving any payment for them. While computing the total cost of production‚ allowance should be made for such expenses. It is therefore essential

Differential Association Theory Differential association theory is one of the Chicago School criminological theories that held a sociological approach to analyzing criminality. The theory was finalized by University of Chicago sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1947 as one of the first to take a major turn away from the classical individualist theories of crime and delinquency. Much of his study was influenced by crime that emphasized human behavior as determined by social and physical environmental

Without knowing something about differential equations and methods of solving them‚ it is difficult to appreciate the history of this important branch of mathematics. Further‚ the development of differential equations is intimately interwoven with the general development of mathematics and cannot be separated from it. Nevertheless‚ to provide some historical perspective‚ we indicate here some of the major trends in the history of the subject‚ and identify the most prominent early contributors. Other

disproportionality are differential offending and differential treatment. Differential offending argues there is an actual difference in offending between races; DMC is a result of minorities committing more crimes than their white counterparts (Hindelang‚ R2). Differential treatment maintains there is no difference in offending between races; DMC is a consequence of minorities being treated more harshly in the criminal justice system than whites (Hindelang‚ R2). One cause of differential offending
