Document Summary
What makes me: the many forms of memory. Which correlation coefficient indicates the strongest relationship between the variables: -0. 85 , b. Strength is determined by the coefficient, not the sign. In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflex. The bell, a neural stimulus, becomes associated with the reflex of salivation. The lea(cid:396)(cid:374)e(cid:396) (cid:862)ope(cid:396)ates(cid:863) o(cid:374) the e(cid:374)(cid:448)ironment and receives a reward for certain behaviour (operations). Eventually the bond between the operation (pressing the lever) and the reward stimulus (food) is established. Specific space-time patterns of reinforcer (s+/s-) presentation generates specific and predictable patterns of behaviour. If you can control the consistency of these reinforcers, then you can control behaviour. Intermittent reinforcement would be better, and provides more benefits on learning. The value of the reward is devalued when given to you all the time. The number of times it takes for a reward to be presented is fixed.
