Theory of operant conditioning

Theory of operant conditioning (instrumental conditioning) is the application of a character’s precursor and or its effects to pressurize the occurrence and type of character. Operant conditioning can be differentiated from classical conditioning (respondent conditioning) in that operant conditioning focuses on the adjustment of voluntary behavior or operant character. Operant character functions on the environment and is sustained through its outcomes, while classical conditioning focuses on restraining of reflexive (reflex) traits that are drawn by the precursor circumstances. This implies that it is way of studying, which happens through incentives and penalties ...

I clearly remember the very moment I realized how I would like to change my life to; the moment, which not only shocked me, but made me realize that my family is the most important thing I have; the moment when I realized that the life of my son was at stake. It happened in the middle of the night, when my deep and quiet sleep was interrupted by the tender but at the same time concerned voice of my son. He shocked my body lightly as he whispered these heart wrenching words: "Wake up!! Wake up! Something is ...

I have always been a very ambitious and determined person, and whatever I started, I have always finished it up to scratch. This very trait of character has always helped me to reach success and to come up to my personal expectations, as well as of those who have always believed in me. Even though I still have much to strive to, I am already proud of everything I have already reached, and this feeling boosts me even more for new achievements.

My name is Davide. Since my childhood I have been a very creative, hard-working and goal-directed person. I strongly believe that there is nothing in the world that cannot be achieved. My life theory is that one should struggle for all those things that can bring happiness and satisfaction to his/her life and make it worth living. Despite the statement that money makes the world go round, I am convinced that money means nothing without psychic income. That is why it is of vital importance for me to be fully satisfied with my job and get the best ...

Since my early childhood I have been surprised and puzzled by the fact that some people can have their own business and earn a lot of money while others, who live in the same conditions and have the same opportunities, cannot make ends meet. Years went by, and I realized that in order to achieve great success in your life, you do not need to live in a specific country or be born in a specific family. What really matters is your state of mind and the goals you set and try to achieve.

After I had obtained a ...

Feminism is the collection of movements aimed at defining, defending and establishing equal social, political and economic rights and opportunities for women.

Life is full of challenges! One of the challenges which happened in my life was the period I entered the university. Not only was I flabbergasted by the abundance of information, but I also faced lack of friends. I have always been an extravert – that is why those very days were a real torture for me.
However, I have been taught since my childhood that it is extremely important to be a team-player, irrespective of the roles and responsibilities. There is a proverb ‘A problem shared is a problem halved; indeed, when a person is working in a team, ...

Abstract

The vocabulary of any language is a lexicon and it is serves as a connection between a sign and its meaning in any language. Therefore language is divided in three parts: signs, meaning, and a code connecting signs and meanings. In any Language there are four levels which are used to analyse the language. These levels are: Phonology which analyses sounds; Morphology which analyses units forming a language structure; Syntax which analyses rules and principles in forming sentences; and Semantics ...

My dedication to being a successful student is something which has never faltered: I began my University life by studying Vocal Performance, changed to Biology and then changes again to Music Education. Some may see this as me being indecisive but I prefer to see it as me striving to find the subject which I feel comfortable and happy with. I have found that in studying Music.
Unfortunately, once I found myself feeling settled with my choice of subject, I was then forced to have to move across the country because my Husband and I made a Permanent Change ...

When I was a young child, I was considered to be weak because my health was very poor. I was always told that my priority should be to become as healthy and strong as the other children; as a result, I used it as an excuse to not try as hard as I could have done. I always knew myself to be a bright child but managed to convince myself that because I was so weak, I was unable to work as hard as I could have done. That said, I always wanted to strive for me after watching ...

Introduction:

I wish to tender my interest to secure admission in your law school. I had a primary interest in taking a degree in law, and this is a natural conviction which emanates from a very remote encounter to this discipline.  I discovered quite early in life that I am very inquisitive, argumentative and critical and my late father testified to this when he said that I took after my uncle who is a lawyer. I could then critique the behavior of those in the fraternity of the so-called learned-friends. This troubled me immensely and I concluded that I should be a man of the jury. The principal in my high discovered some unique characters in me which he had not spotted in any student and eventually, he made me the head prefect of the school, a position I earned due to my undisputed prowess in oratory. I routinely received awards for making exceptional grades in English Language, Literature and History, subjects that are core and prerequisite in the study of law. This was coupled with intense research in the same subjects as well as Government and religion not to forget Theology and Political science in which my findings sent a tantrum to my tutors during my senior high school. ...
